Thank you for this and for the links – the 2017 performance, which I didn’t know existed, will be a great addition to my group text collection.Īnd, here’s one for you: from Dann Huff’s instructional video which was recorded circa Time To Burn. We stay in touch by sending each other links of solos, songs, and live performances and when we get the chance to see each other IRL, anyone in our orbit will inevitably be subjected to a deep dive on why Giant mattered. And though we’ve moved on of course – some of my friends are playing professionally, while others are on the industry side, we’re still as obsessed as ever with certain players – Eric Johnson, Steve Lukather, Jeff Porcaro, Dann Huff. I was just out of music school when Giant appeared in ’89 and Dann Huff elevated rock guitar to another level. Nashville is pretty darn cool and our musician community is just phenomenal!! Todd (Austin), a Nashville musician fixture for decades, had lost possessions & pets in a house fire. I was unfortunately on the road when they held this benefit for “Toddzilla” that gave us this reunion but saw the video the next day. Wonderful guys that still remain friends to this dayĮvery player in town that knew about this going on was flipping out myself included. It was truly an honor to be a part of such a great band. I am the singer in those videos and I must say that you completely made my decade! I very much appreciate your kind words and taking the time to write about Giant. I was forwarded the article you wrote regarding Giant.
