The Daytona gigs probably were fun for ya'll at that age but what about all the crap gigs and asshole club owners back then? I talk to Lou once in a while....what happened to Greg? I recently had my 1969 Ludwigs redone in white marine pearl.....love 'em. Now looking for some playing opportunities.

Nice cat also. Those Nola amps sound great too. Heard them on a Myspace page I believe. Good tone with no BS knobs to fiddle with. Just the straight tone that I really dig.
Well, better get back to practicin my scales! Right, I don't even know what half the notes are!! Dweedle, sprang and flooong. Those are the notes I know. Theys good uns.

At 11:17pm on April 14, 2009, Jeff Smith said…: I went and played with some cats in Woodstock last Tuesday. Guess I didn't pass the audition cause I never heard back from them. Maybe I need lessons? Maybe it was my xray specs!!! Maybe I really don't care!!

At 8:29pm on March 4, 2009, Sammy Blue said…: We played our usual Fat Tuesday at Copeland's/cumberland and then
went to Nashville to play the wedding of a fan that hired us. That was
great. I hadn't been to Nashville in a long time. We're playing Darwins
on the 21st and again in May. Mostly I'm working on my studio and not
paying much attention to gigging around town. Although, I'll soon be
trying to set up something once a month for our foundation group
the Georgia Legacy All Stars. But it's not a club band at all. The clubs
pretty much suck as far as crowds and pay. Too Bad. I'm mostly working on recording and the Georgia Legacy Foundation.

At 12:04am on January 30, 2009, THE LAURA SIMON BAND said…: Hey Bill! Just droppin in to share a grin, looking forward to playing with you on 2/6 at the Firewater Chophouse, gonna be a great time. And again on 2/8 at the Edgewood Corner Tavern, we will tear em up! Good luck with the new band you are trying to get together...Peace, and TTYL, Laura

It's great to meet you on APM. Thanks for checking out my photos. Here is the funny thing, the reason you like the drums, is the same for me. My Dad is a pro here in Atlanta (since 1989), and when I was little, his set of Rogers Holiday model from 1968 was the kits of his that I fell in LOVE with. I always said to myself that when i order a custom kit, THAT is the color they will be. I kept putting it off for years ( cost being one of the reasons) but not any more. I am having a blast playing them. I hope to meet you in person someday too, until then, KEEP ON ROCKIN IN THE FREE WORLD>.................Bob
