Ep. 54 - Ian Dunlop

Something In The Water cohosts Sean Clark and Uncle Dave Griffin welcome back good friend and songwriting partner from Cornwall, England, Ian Dunlop. Fresh from a showstopping performance at the 25th Annual Gram Parsons Guitar Pull on October 15 in Waycross, Georgia, Ian delves into his personal musical history, beginning with an alto saxophone in the late Fifties. He formed his first band, The Refugees, performing at frat parties in the early Sixties around Boston, Massachusetts and opening for Roy Orbison and The Shirelles. After meeting Gram Parsons in the mid-60s, Ian picked up the bass guitar and found himself in the International Submarine Band for a brief while. An author himself, his book, Breakfast in Nudie Suits, details the origins of ISB, their exploration of country music, the band’s move to Los Angeles, and his departure back to New England and eventually to Cornwall, where he resides to this day. In the musical segment, Ian performs “I Like Ike”, his original song about 1950s and President Eisenhower; “I Believe In The Power of Gugle”, a gospel-genre song reflecting on 21st century’s unswerving faith in cyber media. We take a peek at “Fishin’ For Wishes”, a Sean and Ian original performed with The Pine Box Dwellers at the 25th Annual Gram Parsons Guitar Pull October 15 in Waycross. This episode’s Tail of the Weak is dedicated to grandparents around the world or at least those who are watching and listening.
