This year’s Microwave Dave Day — a free fundraiser dedicated to the beloved Huntsville musician — is set for Oct. 16. 🎸 The event will feature more than 75 musicians across three different stages on the Stovehouse events center campus in Huntsville.
Dave Gallaher decided if he made it back home alive, he was going to play music for the rest of his life. And he was going to play music that made people feel better.
Microwave Dave & The Nukes: From left, bassist Rick Godfrey, guitarist Dave Gallaher and drummer James Irvin. Although Gallaher eventually made it home safely from Vietnam, his locally made Strat and faux Fender amp didn’t. In summer of ‘68, he received emergency leave to return home to Atlanta, where the Gallaher family had relocated from Texas, to visit his father, who’d suffered a stroke.
In Boston, he joined a rock band called Cameron Company, later shortened to just Cameron. The band relocated to Florida where they enjoyed a dozen-year run in which they cut three albums, including one in Muscle Shoals with Swamper keyboardist Barry Beckett, and played around 300 shows a year. During one of Cameron’s Papa Joe’s gigs, a man approached Gallaher and said he wanted to introduce him to Dickey Betts, the Allman Brothers guitarist and singer of the band’s biggest song, “Ramblin’ Man.” Gallaher thought the man was full of it.
“Then we had to go to the gig,” Gallaher recalled in 2018. “We figured that was the end of it. The concert let out and we start to get a lot of people. We’re playing and next thing you know here comes Dickey and Gregg and Chuck Leavell with them.
