The Patrick & David show is a wowser!
Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney, the kid from Firestone High who
has been high on music nearly his entire life, and David Giffels, whose motto
is, If I build it, I’ll write a book about it, wowed them at the Akron Roundtable’s
40th anniversary celebration, where everyone there thinned out their
wallets significantly to get into the affair.
Some of the highlights:
Giffels, a former BJ columnist, purchased a 4-track recorder from a
teenaged Carney, who is a son of retired BJ reporter and sometimes radio talk
show sub Jim Carney and stepson of BJ reporter Katie Byard.
Giffels loves Devo, and wrote a book about the Akron music group.
Carney lived in a Highland Square apartment once occupied by Devo.
Carney said that mein papa enlisted him to appear at the Roundtable
anniversary shindig.
