Dust Pan Handle History and information
The founding members of the group are:
- Tom Sorge: lead and rhythm guitar, bass and vocals
- Ted Sheldon: lead and rhythm and bass and vocals
- George Porter: drums
- Don Degen: keyboards and vocals
The music began for Tom, George and Don about 40 years ago much before Dust Pan Handle was formed back in the late ‘60’s.
As teenagers these three came together with a few other locals to form a band called DAWN. DAWN played at high school dances, weddings and private functions throughout Southern Alberta: Pincher Creek, Fort McLeod, The Pass, Lethbridge and other surrounding communities.
As young and VERY raw musicians the young men had pretty rudimentary gear (guitars, drums, amps and P.A. systems) but developed a bond that was the music. In fact they were still so young some of their mothers, Lois Sorge and Jackie Degen, actually risked co-signing a loan for their sons to buy a speaker system.
DAWN soon picked up a couple of other players and began to grow. The group was influenced by the music of the day - great ones like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Three Dog Night and other masters. Sadly, when high school finished, DAWN did too as the young men moved on to school and other jobs: Tom in Calgary, Don in Edmonton and George staying near Pincher Creek.
But, as they say, ‘The music in you never dies!” Tom and Don stayed in touch and in their 20’s performed a few duos at what was then the Alberta Hotel and the King Eddie in Pincher. Then in Calgary, Tom and Don started jamming a bit and met Ted Sheldon, who just happened to be a guitar player and had a great voice. Ted proved a great addition - the music and the vocals really came together.
Randy Real, a great drummer from the Pass, joined next then George after Randy passed. Dust Pan Handle began. By now we are in the mid to late 70’s with all of us still geographically challenged but somehow we make it work; so for us it’s been about 35 years for Dust Pan Handle
Our music interests have always been very similar. We play a wide range of tunes from the 60's, 70’s and a bit from the 80’s (Beatles , Beach Boys, Eagles, Doobie Brothers , Jackson Brown, Van Morrison and many, many others.
Just so everyone knows it is at the community hall
