Corning, New York --- Rock’n’roll Hall of Famer, Duane Eddy, points up at himself in the Corning mural where he is playing his signature Gretsch guitar. Duane is king of “twang”… the unique guitar sound which influenced generations of rock guitarists… and has sold millions of records since he dominated the charts in the late 50’s and early 60’s. He was born in Corning on April 26, 1938, and spent his childhood years in the area until he was 12. Mural is located at Bridge & Pulteney.
