ZEEDER HOGG

AT AGE 12, MY MUSICAL CAREER DEBUT WAS TO PLAY GUITAR/SING TO THE AUDIENCE OF THE "THE DON MAHONEY SHOW" ON TV..REMEMBER THAT SHOW? IT WAS YEARS AGO! TO MY CREDIT, ZEEDER HOGG HAS PUT BANDS TOGETHER TO PLAY CONCERT PERFORMANCES LIKE THE WILLIE NELSON 4TH OF JULY PICNICS. WE WERE THE OPENING ACT FOR DR. HOOK AND THE MEDICNE SHOW. WE OPENED FOR THE B. W. STEVENSON BAND; BECAUSE ZEEDER WAS MADE THE OFFER OF THE 'LEADER' OF BW'S BAND AND BACK UP VOCALIST/GUITARIST, HE GOT TO TOUR NUMERO...

TO MY CREDIT, ZEEDER HOGG HAS PUT BANDS TOGETHER TO PLAY CONCERT PERFORMANCES LIKE THE WILLIE NELSON 4TH OF JULY PICNICS. WE WERE THE OPENING ACT FOR DR. HOOK AND THE MEDICNE SHOW. WE OPENED FOR THE B. W. STEVENSON BAND; BECAUSE ZEEDER WAS MADE THE OFFER OF THE 'LEADER' OF BW'S BAND AND BACK UP VOCALIST/GUITARIST, HE GOT TO TOUR NUMEROUS CONCERT HALLS WITH BW'S BAND. TRAGICALLY, BW DIED. ZEEDER THEN FORMED HIS BAND, DIAMOND BACK. TOGETHER THEY TOURED THRU-OUT THE U.S. BUT ALWAYS CAME HOME WHERE THEY WERE FAVORED IN THE AUSTIN AND HOUSTON TEXAS ARENAS. THEIR NOTARIETY BROUGHT IN 'SOLD OUT' AUDIENCES. DIAMOND BACK WAS ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC...IT WAS A SHOW! IT WAS COMPRISED OF TALENT FROM THE DAYS OF THE "DEER PARK BELCH AND FART ENSEMBLE" (ONE OF OUR 'EARLIER' BANDS. WE KNEW EACH OTHER WELL; WE WERE TIGHT BOTH AS A BAND AND AS FRIENDS. ZEEDER PLAYED THE LONE MUSICIAN CIRCUITS IN SOME WELL KNOWN ESTABLISHMENTS WHICH AFFORDED HIM A LIVING OF SORTS...BUT HE SAW CHANGES AHEAD. HIS RESPONSIBILITES BROUGHT OUT THE NEED TO LET MICHAEL DUNCAN TAKE OVER AND HE WENT TO COLLEGE. TODAY THEY ARE STILL ONE. ZEEDER PLAYS HIS MUSIC, SINGS HIS SONGS, AND MICHAEL DUNCAN LIVES ON THE OCEAN AND PLAYS WITH REMOTELY OPERATED TOOLS. SOMETIMES THEY GET THEIR HEADS TOGETHER AND COME UP WITH GREAT LYRICS TO MUSIC THAT RUNS THRU THEIR VEINS AND THEY BRING IT HOME...TO HER.
