Charlotte NC. Nappy was like a father to me and I'm deeply sadden by his passing. The author of "The
Night time is the right time" he was a gentelmen and a true Bluesman. He will be missed but never replace.

Bill Whitley said… - I will try and catch the Allstars Athens seems to be the happening place for clubs You need to check out the Melting Point kind of reminds me of the Agora and Capri Ballroom with a bad ass sound system and theatrical seating. I remember playing in Nashville back in the 70s when we opened for Electric Lighthouse Orchestra and Charlie Daniels was out in the audience. I know they have some nice music stores

- I have been playing with Laura Simon and some other fill-in gigs around. We have played a few gigs downtown but the ATL scene seems dead. I played a gig at Carusos in Dahlonega a couple weeks ago and had a great audience who enjoyed the show. I went over to Athens last Friday and saw a friend play at the Melting Point which is a nice concert venue. What are you up to ?

Mark McCoy said… - Sammy, thanks for checking in. The Jukes do mostly West Coast and Texas style swing with some traditional blues thrown in. Our originals lean towards roots rock and jump blues. Not much funk or soul.
