“ On our drive to Pittsburgh yesterday we made a stop in Harrisburg to get some drum sticks and other various items at Guitar Center. As usual, the soundtrack of the store was a guy off in the corner, playing guitar, moving from riff to riff as though his fingers were a rolodex of classic rock. The guy was okay. I seem to remember “Reeling In The Years,” “Walk This Way” and a few Beatles songs and had him pegged as a sterling member of a local cover band. As we passed by the riffmaster he looked up and saw Peter. “Oh my God-are you Peter Buck?” he asked. Peter nodded. The guy paused. “I hate to bug you but could you show me how to play the riff on ‘The One I Love?’ I’ve been having trouble with that one.” Peter took the guitar and gave him an impromptu guitar lesson, playing the riff and most of the song. Hey, I was taking notes as well. Riffman was delighted and then asked “How about ‘Fall On Me?’” Professor Buck assented, played that song as well and then the guitar lesson was over.
