Del Casher, the man who gave rock its wah-wah sound, has died at 88 Del Casher, the guitarist who invented the wah-wah pedal, has died at 88. TMZ was first to report the news. A fundraiser set up to support his widow, Eiko, says Casher died on October 1 after a battle with cancer. It also says Covid badly hurt his sound studio business, forcing him to sell prized guitars and equipment, and that the couple had taken out a reverse mortgage on their home. Born Delton Kacher in Hammond, Indiana, Casher played with stars such as Gene Autry and Lawrence Welk in the 1950s and early 1960s. Then, while playing electric guitar for the Thomas Organ company's Vox Ampliphonic Orchestra, he began chasing a sound he could hear in his head: a guitar that sounded like a trumpet. Working with company engineer Brad Plunkett, he found it by accident, turning a knob back and forth and hearing the cry that became the wah-wah. The Cry Baby pedal arrived in 1967, but guitarists ignored it at first. Everything changed when Frank Zappa passed a pedal to Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix made the sound famous on Electric Ladyland, using it on Voodoo Child, Burning of the Midnight Lamp and All Along the Watchtower. Eric Clapton took it up with Cream on Tales of Brave Ulysses, and soon Jimmy Page, Tony Iommi and David Gilmour were using it too. The wah-wah even drove Isaac Hayes to a number one hit with Theme From Shaft. Casher also backed Elvis Presley and can be seen playing guitar in the King's 1964 film Roustabout. He once said he only wanted guitar players to think of him now and then. "Remember me," he said.

Amanda Batula and West Wilson Spotted Filming Again as Ozarks Spinoff Talk Heats Up Former Summer House stars Amanda Batula and West Wilson are back in the spotlight, and this time it looks like cameras were rolling. People who were at the Missouri Tigers game against Texas on Saturday say the couple showed up with a small camera crew and microphones in Columbia, Missouri. One person there says they heard talk in the group about a reality show set in the Ozarks, and that Amanda reportedly asked West to take their microphones off at one point. There was a second sighting too, at a bar in Missouri called Brooksider, where the pair were again seen with cameras. A source has told a Bravo fan account that a Lake of the Ozarks show is back on track. It is not the first time the idea has come up. Back in May, Summer House executive producer Steven Weinstock was asked about an Ozarks spinoff and did not rule it out, saying the team is always looking for ways to extend the show. And in April, West appeared to let something slip while chatting with actor Jon Hamm about growing up in Missouri. Neither Amanda nor West has confirmed or denied that a new show is in the works. The pair, who went public with their relationship in March after both leaving Summer House, spent Sunday at the Kansas City Chiefs game, with Amanda sharing photos from Arrowhead Stadium. If the sightings are what they look like, Bravo fans may soon be heading to the Ozarks.
