Without him, would any of us be here? Or .......

Is his legend overrated?

Elmo, when you Google "Gus Dupree," this thread shows up at #3 on the search results.

I remember hearing this name before, but without searching, I could not tell you who Dupree was.

From Wikipedia's Keith Richards article:
Richards's paternal grandparents were socialists and civic leaders.[4] His maternal grandfather (Augustus Theodore Dupree), who toured Britain in a jazz big band called Gus Dupree and his Boys, was an early influence on Richards's musical ambitions and got him interested in playing guitar.[5]
[en.wikipedia.org]

Perhaps without Dupree, we may not have this message board right now.
