Les Dudek ’70s Mystery Guitarist ?
Posted : May 8th, 2008 by toyzLes Dudek – being a kid of the 70s and 80s I would research and listen to music all day and night. I remember listening to a Les Dudek album at my sisters apartment and I thought this is really good stuff. I never bought his albums because there was always something else in the way. I never did figure where he came from (bands) and where he went he just fell off my radar ? He was a cross between Boz Skags and Trower some of his songs had GREAT univibe sounds etc, and great songwritting. Anyone have any info of where Mr Dudek went and what bands he was in before going solo ? To watch video click in the middle of the picture !

Radiohead Gets It – How come these guys get it and no one in the record industry seems to? First they put their record out on a donation basis and the plan is a smash success. Now they are having a remix contest where you get certain pre-mixed tracks and submit your remix for online voting. How invigorating to the music public! Maybe the proof of success is in their servers crashing from the crush of visitors interested, curious, passionate and fanatical about music! Hello Sony, Warners, and anyone else who still has a job in the record industry why can’t you do stuff like this? Radiohead Remix Site
