Spring Fling with Scotty Anderson

Dr Dan and the stray dogs have been performing with Scotty off and on for about 5 years.  Dr Dan's other interest, besides animals, is music and especially guitar.  On Dr Dan's Birthday 6 years ago, he heard Scotty Anderson play for the first time and his jaw dropped.  Never did he ever dream that he would share the stage with Scotty over 100 times in the last 5 or so years. Scotty has become Dr Dan's guitar mentor.  Scotty is simply the best guitarist Dr. Dan has ever heard or been around.  He does things with the guitar no one else can or ever will do as well as he does.  Scotty has traveled the world playing guitar and is well known by musicians all over the world.  While backstage meeting Leann Rimes a few years ago at the North American Veterinary Conference,  Dr Dan introduced himself to the three guitarists from Nashville that backed up Leanne on the tour.  All three of them were amazed that he had actually not only met but been on stage with Scotty Anderson.   On occasion,  we have people drive 2-3 hours to hear Scotty at our gigs with the Stray Dogs.  Scotty is tied to no one group and loves backing up Dr. Dan and the Stray Dogs.  Since music is so second nature to him , Scotty doesn't tie himself down by playing with only one group.  He plays all styles of music, but has a distinct style that is only his own with picking at lightening speeds and playing multiple harmonies and melodies at the same time.  His style is unrehearsed, spontaneous, and always perfect for the tune, whatever style of music.  Scotty's  knowledge of music is deep routed from his early days growing up first in the hills of Kentucky, picking with uncle and dad, and then in his teens living in our neck of the woods in Amelia for a short time. Scotty can hear a song and immediately play it better than the original guitarist and add flavor with a style all his own.  Scotty has not only been a friend and a guitar mentor, but a client of All Creatures with his 2 or three cats that share his basement with his collectible guitars and amps. 

Make sure you plan to attend the first All Creatures Spring Fling Jamboree on Saturday March 27th, at 8 pm.  We will be hosting the event inside our 5000 square foot training room on our second floor - so there should be plenty of room and great seats.   Tickets are $10 and all proceeds go to benefit our Friend of Noah's adoption program.  Call 797-7387 for tickets, as well tickets will be available at the door.  Light refreshments will be available with admission.
