I was at that party...I mean festival...ah concert? Or was I ? Heck, I got the stub ! I musta been there !Maybe not the very best, but certainly our kind of man - Ted Nugent Live at the Georgia Jam at Road Atlanta in 1980. He kicked some ass!
Yeah, thanks man. I can dig it for real.It is a little off topic. But it's still strange to me that for just a short while in the early 70s it was all about Macon, Ga. A lot of folks don't realize that Duane and Gregg are really from Daytona. So they weren't homegrown. But it all happened for them and went bad for them in Macon. And I don't need to get into the Little Richard and the Wet Willy. For a short intense time Macon was it on the music scene. The guys from Skynyrd later acknowledged that they never would have gotten into it if not for the AB. And my favorite band of all time is Motorhead. I have the movie/documentary about Lemmy,the lead singer. He told Dave Grohl and a few other guys that one of his earliest musical influences was Little Richard. No matter what his orientation may be Little Richard could bring down the house as good as any in his day.Rose Hill IS one of the prettiest places in Macon, I agree. I have been all over the Confederate Cemetery and that is the only one I've ever been to that would have the word "Conscript" under the person's name on the tombstone. The battle of Griswoldville happened so fast that the regular army went into town and started drafting, or "conscripting" any male that could fight. They didn't even have time to assign them to a unit.
My apologies to the OP for getting a little off subject. I could talk about Macon and Duane Allman for days.
I yield the floor.
