Ain't no doubt about it. Guitar bands (3 or more 6 strings) kill. Marshall Tucker rocks it too.

I saw Marshall Tucker in Dothan Alabama in 79 or 80. Taz? was playing the keys with a cast on his arm. Great show.

We used to get all the 2nd tier southern bands in Dothan. I must have seen Atlanta Rhythm Section three or four times. We even got the Brothers, but it was during the Cher years, and Rick Derringer and Johnny Winter outplayed them by miles that night.

They just about cured me from wading and fishing. I had to fight one over my stringer of fish one time.

And when I was a little kid, one was eating the last fish on the stringer at a little creek near the farm. Mamma told me to run to the truck for the gun. When I got back with the .22, I aimed for the snakes head, which was stretched around a Blue Gill. I killed the snake, but it also cut the stringer and we lost all the fish.

Yep, there are some fine places in that forest. I have done 50 mile back packs in the Condor Sanctuary area before it was designated such. One of the most difficult trails in the US is a place called Sespe. Did the Whitney Portals trail too. Kicked my young ass. Different forest that one.

Dickie Betts had a band for a while back in the 90's.. I sat front row center on my birthday, trippin balls on Mescaline:mrgreen: in a tiny town named Pozo out by Paso Robles, watched Marshall Tucker, Poco and the Betts band blow minds with some of the best music I heard in a long time. Unforgettable:eyesmoke:.

Was that Great Southern? I think I have one of their CD's. I've only seen a couple of shows the last few years. They were Robert Earl Keen and Tab Benoit. Saw both of them at The Moon in Tallahassee. Both good shows.

Back in my Navy days {80-83} I saw the Gregg Allman Band in a little hole in the wall place. They put on a much better show than the Brothers did.

True. But I have mad respect for the work he has done to protect the wetlands. Lots of folks care about that sort of stuff. He started an organization and raised a bunch of money to get something done. Also got lots of young people to care about wetland restoration.

See, I learned something today. Wetlands are extremely delicate ecosystems. Salt Marshes in Carpinteria CA very diverse and is bordered by Pacific Coast Highway/ Hwy 101 and Southern Pacific Railroad road coastal route all running same way. Point is it still harbors life but not as much. Rising sea levels will interfere with all of it.

He got into it after Katrina did so much damage to his native Louisiana. Loss of wetlands was one of the reasons that hurricane did so much damage.
