unparalleled
career as a

There is a
tremendous
chemistry
between the
band
members.
They have a
total own

The guitar
work of DB
II is
remarkable
because he
plays
left-handed/upside
down.
So
left-handed
on a right
handed
guitar!
Charlie
Sexton and
DB II take
up the lead
guitar
and lead
vocals on

But as soon

so he
quickly
faded out.
Through

The four
