You Ain't Goin' Nowhere by Russ Ward 3

On April 10, 1973 Pete, Dean, Mike and I opened the show for Paul Butterfield's Better Days at Shryock Auditorium, SIU-C. We were billed as Pontiac Jones, but we started off with the acoustic act we called 'Scuttlebucket'. Although Mike usually played mandolin in this bluegrass-oriented quartet, on some tunes he played electric guitar. Mike has always been a bass player, but for a couple of years he switched over to playing lead guitar for us. I've never understood why he walked away from this instrument because, as you can hear on this track, he was damn good at it. Muddy recording was made from the balcony. Pete on 1st and 3rd verse and acoustic guitar, Dean 2nd & 4th verse and standup bass, me on high harmony and banjo.
