Weider also reflected back on his youth a bit, starting as a young musician he was akin to a sponge; taking in whatever he could with multiple influences that still stick with him today.
"Boy I'll tell ya, it started early with The Ventures and Scotty Moore and Elvis, "Ain't Nothin' but a Hound Dog" and the Yardbirds and the English people coming in, I just loved it all. I tried to soak up as much as I could and when I heard Roy Buchanan and The Band and that Telecaster playing; I was a Tele player in the mid-sixties I always loved them."
Along with the aforementioned song selection, Weider says that those coming to SOPAC on December 9 can expect to get their money's worth both in tunes, length of show and a little anniversary.
"Oh yeah, an hour and a half to two hours; we'll play. They'll get a big dose of the new album, some Dylan stuff, some stuff from, "Big Pink" since it's the 50 year celebration and they'll get some Band tunes."

That's it for this week! Please continue to support live and original music and until next week....ROCK ON!
