Starting All Over Again

Thursday March 25, 2010 Posted 2 years, 1 month ago by Dave Strandberg

On Saturday night, guitarist Billy McLaughlin will perform at the Sacred Heart Music Center in Duluth.  Billy joined us on the Dave and Dave Show today and recounted his amazing story.  His career was just reaching a high point in the late 1990's when he was diagnosed with a neuro-muscular disorder called Focal Dystonia in the hand he uses to form the chords on the guitar.  After taking some time off, he decided to learn to play the guitar all over again, using his other hand.  McLaughlin has once more mastered the guitar and is recording and performing again across the country.  He has also become a spokesperson for the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation.  Billy McLaughlin will be onstage with the Electric String Quartet at 7:30 Saturday night at Sacred Heart, 2nd Avenue West and 4th Street in Duluth. 

Dave Walter returned from vacation today with a nice tan and lots of stories to tell about his trip to Arizona.  A new addition to the Dave and Dave Show also started today, get the latest on Hollywood with J-D's Daily Dirt which is also featured in a blog that you will find elsewhere on the KDAL website.
