Waddy Is God

[@benmeltzer]

Waddy was such a close collaborator with Warren Zevon 1976-1991. Zevon's final album, The Wind, was a "come all former collaborators" affair. Waddy's absence was conspicuous. Did the two fall out? Specifically (since Waddy participated in the Enjoy Every Sandwich tribute album to Warren and in its promotion on David Letterman), did Warren excommunicate Waddy from his life at some point?

Hmmmm, interesting trivia! 🤓

[@luvbasses5487]

Waddy comes up with guitar parts that you remember for the rest of your life. That alone is not to be taken lightly. The guy is a magician and we need him…more than ever today! Here’s two timeless examples: Oh Sherry (S. Perry) and Only The Lonely (Motels.) These solos will haunt our subconscious until our last day. They’re just PERFECT.

Absolutely 1,000%‼️
#careermusician LEGEND 🤘🎸🤘
