Kids, back when we used rotary phones, phone books, had no Internet, they played music from their souls. No put ons, no lip sync. Just real music, that stands the test of time.

The late, great Charlie Daniels once said, "Jimmy Hall's got more soul in his little finger than most people have in their whole body." If that's not a compliment of the highest order I don't know what is? At age 71 now, Jimmy's voice still sounds as strong as ever! Sounds as good as when he recorded the song with Wet Willie back in their hay day in 1974.

I've loved this song from Wet Willie, and this version too. Both have been on my playlists for a couple of years, but in light of recent events, this version brought me to tears today. On Wednesday, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Recurring Metastatic Melanoma in my left leg, my liver and pancreas and surrounding lymph nodes, and other areas throughout my abdomen. I'm grateful that my parents gave me a love foe music, and that God gave me the ability to sing and play. Jimmy reminds us that, when we're faced with adversity, it's essential that we maintain a positive outlook and look for things to focus on in the here and now, and not dwell on our own morbidity. Keep On Smilin', indeed.

Add the rest & it's as good as you can imagine. The Bo Derek of music (told my age). Google her name and 10 for a mental image of how alluring Blackberry Smoke music is. Yeah, a solid 10. As long tall Gary Hall says, Every Dayyyy!

Three of us kids left NY and NJ in 1974 to travel to Knoxville to trans tape hours and hours of Allman Brothers live material. Then we decided, what the heck, Macon can’t be that far! So off to Macon we went. I remember visiting the recording studio and seeing the new graves of Duane and Berry. We found all kinds of places that we recognized from pictures. One was the album cover of a Wet Willie! Amazing journey! And that journey includes all the wonderful music since then! The place had Duane’s name written all over. Duane paved the way for many of these bands!
