This is the last song Joggers played together before frontman Ben Whitesides moved back to Massachusetts, putting the band on hiatus.
It’s a cover of Television’s “Marquee Moon.” Somewhere around 2:45 it rules. And then it falls apart. And then it rules again.
From the same session as our Feels Like Home episode with Joggers, back in September 2010.
Somewhere after the 7-minute mark we get a glimpse of Duke the dog (aka Duke Loyale), owned by bassist Darrell Bourque’s wife Celeste. Darrell explains, “Celeste has a tattoo for him because she had to give him away once, but got him back. She originally found him abandoned in a park in Columbus, OH. He was sitting by a pay phone for four days in a row. So she took him on a cross-country road trip that ended in Portland. He was famous around Irving Park. He died in the kitchen that we filmed in, about a year ago. We guess he was between 12 and 15 yrs. old.”
Rest in peace, Duke.
