about

I took the train from Memphis to Chicago to play a show and had a great time. Lake Michigan was the first Great Lake I have been up close and personal with. It really did look like the ocean! On the journey home I was seated in the car with a couple of fellows that worked for the railroad and had been to Chicago for some training. One of the guys was from Slidell, LA and the other was from near McComb, MS. I don't think they shared my love of the windy city. The fellow from McComb kept talking about "getting below that Mason-Dixon line." A few days after I got home the story of a guy that got on the wrong side of the Dixie mob being sent up north to take out a fellow southerner and subsequently getting stuck in a cold exile himself, came together.

My friend Brian Mulhearn threw down some tasty guitar and recruited his friend Barb McGavern to lay down the backing vocals. Chopek on the drums , Vinnie on bass and Hammond organ.

Tony Manard Memphis, Tennessee

I’m not young, attractive or cool. ... more
