This past Monday night on WWE Raw was true DVR material. Celeb Gossip Kings at The-Deli have a few reasons why. There was about 5 minutes of programming worth watching. Again and again we see the same thing on Monday night Raw. An opening banter lasting 10-15 minutes of the broadcast. Followed by a match lasting 5 minutes. Their weekly “talkshow” the “Highlight Reel” hosted by Chris Jericho generally has a 5-10 minute slot in the second hour which in all reality should be non-stop wrestling. If WWE viewers actually survived the first hour they should be rewarded with a great main event. On Raw they generally wait until 9:50 or 9:55 p.m. to begin their main event, and their time slot ends at 10:05! This 10-15 minutes always has on the low end one commercial break. To say the least it doesn’t leave much time for any real action to take place.
Don’t forget to check out IMPACT! on Spike t.v. Thursday nights at 8 p.m. before more action on Ultimate Fighter! The Icon Sting and Big Sexy Kevin Nash take on Team 3d before the bloody massacre at LOCKDOWN when it’s 5 on 5 inside the SIX SIDES OF STEEL!
Checking the schedule for Famous Daves is when we first heard about Wayne Dopsie. After checking his web site we decided to go, but we were not prepared for what the night had in store.
The place was unusually packed for a Saturday night, there were a couple parties there and the place was wall to wall. We managed to get a table in the back. When the band fired up, the crowd immediately hit the dance floor. The Zydeco Rhythm was infectious. Bus something was noticeably different about this band compared to other Zydeco acts that have come through.
Zydeco Hell Raisers Rock The House!
It didn’t take long to see that Dwayne, was a HOT player. While most accordion players I have seen are marginal to decent players who mostly play rhythm, this guy was a Lead player. He played the accordion, like a Hot Lead Guitarist. And he has got some Amazing Chops! All I can say is that I was Blown Away! This guy is Amazing.. You have got to see him Live to get the full experience.
Dwayne And Alex Rock Out!
And these guys Rock Out. Dwayne and most notably Alex the washboard player, (Skinny White Kid) put out so much energy, it completely Electrified the room! They broke into an immediate sweat and continued to power through 2/12 hours of Balls To The Walls High Energy Rockin Zydeco.
High Energy Zydeco To The MAX!
Hottest Accordion Player In America
Dwayne who’s playing is obviously inspired by Hendrix payed tribute with a rendition of “Hey Joe. It was Awesome, to hear Hot Lead Guitar Licks on the accordion, Unbelievable. Maybe there’s other guy’s out there thatcan play this good, but I’ve never heard them.
Man I wish I would have had a video camera with me. I did get some Hot Photos. But I did manage to find a video for you. There is also a sample of his music for you. Enjoy!
