I'll bet those Duck Pluckers would be big hits in some of the places I've played, cause they sure look like a lot of the audience members. When those guys request a song you do it whether you know it or not! Scary!

How 'bout them Duck Pluckers, pluckin' they guitars;
Thinkin' they looks gonna make them stars.
Got a Telecaster made by Sears;
Tourin' the country, flappin' they ears.

How to be a Duck Plucker,
Don't need a bucket,
Find yourself a duck,
Haul off and ____ __.

The Pluckers are pickers, but they're also talented in other ways.
They do their own auto repairs. Comes in handy on the road.

Ouch!

Life on the road ain't easy for the Duck Pluckers.
The bus keeps breaking down.

The Duck Pluckers were in Hawaii recently for a bunch of gigs...

...some of the local musicians down there wanted to meet them...

...but the Duck Pluckers feel threatened by women who can play their instruments better than they do...

...and they thought the oversized swimming pool was unsafe...

...and so after being down there for merely one day, they cancelled all their gigs and flew back home.

Having learned their lesson about rentals, they bought tickets...

Fortunately, they loaded their equipment on another airplane...

The boys were upset by what they had seen on the runway, and clamored to get off the plane, until a quick-thinking stewardess told them that the plane in the grass was just tired and was taking a little nap. Reassured, they continued their flight home...

The Duck Pluckers are in Nevada. Their next gig is at Bubba’s Brew Pub.

It’s a pretty cool place, and they have a nice garden in the back.

The boys are staying at the best hotel in town.

It’s a 5 Star hotel... nothing but the finest.

They even have a storage area for guests

Bubba's niece plays some guitar.
She was hoping the Duck Pluckers could give her a couple of lessons.
They declined though because they're busy doing their laundry and watching TV.

Yes, Terry there is.
Go to the end of page one and then to page two of the thread to see how Lester came in to play steel pedal with the Duck Pluckers. (unfortunately, you have to to read this silly thread from the beginning to understand some of the stuff here )

After spending too much time in the garden, they left Bubba's Brew Pub.

The lead guitar player is sitting in the passenger seat

When the boys aren't busy touring, they like to relax, so they unwind by going bowling at Rocmar's...

..it's a great place to watch chicks...

...and they love those cool shoes with the numbers on em...

There is a lounge in the bowling alley, and Jacko Fellatino entertains there every afternoon.
The Duck Pluckers have become big fans. They like his raw, unpretentious style.

Rico Odwalla is another local favorite. He can play in any language.
He just flips the instrument over. He loves to play parties and weddings.

If it ever gets out that the Pluckers' steel player plays a ZB, this thread could easily break 1000....

The Glitter Band subs for the Farkus Bros

But then, Stuffparty subs for the Glitterband

When Rico can't make it, Bob Harrison covers for him

The Polkaholics also live nearby. This area has a lot of talent.

And if All fails, the club can always call Father Manuel Garcia de los Santos.
He does South American bird calls, always a crowd pleaser.

Father Garcia’s opening act is Davida Ortiz Manuel Ramirez.
Davida not only sings like a bird, he plays guitar as good as he wants to.

The Duck Pluckers eventually threw Roy out of the band because they thought he sang like a girl.
