The sound was muddled - perhaps not their fault - the songs were not tight - completely their fault - and the guys tried to seem into it and inspired buy they are simply not very good. I mean like not very talented - they'd be a good bar band but the ain't the Marshall Tucker Band. I do remember how impressive an act they were. The first time I saw them was as the opening act for the Allman Bros. at MSG in NYC back in the early '70s - I was blown away. Last night, well, I was blown away in a different way - I up and left after they butchered their cover of "Heard it in a Love Song". I just was so juiced to see the MT Band again and it was such a let down. The guys need to get the sound right and practice, practice, practice.

I'm 99% sure it's a go for this fall though... and yes, with the Longbranch gone we are definitely open, willing, and going after up and coming country/alt-country... send me your suggestions anytime!

Did anyone attend? Maybe we'll get them back? I think with the Longbranch gone, there are plennnty of bands like this who are still viable for clubs. I'm not so sure where these up-and-coming country/alt-country artists are going to play, but Buckhead is a nice, big facility.

I cover stuff I think is pertinent, but this site really isn't for everybody. No site really is, and it takes a good mix to make us have great coverage for a great city.

We linked to all articles relative to this story and understand the situation. We were not the original source to claim this, ABC (actual journalists) was.

Melissa,

I wasn’t referring to anything you are referencing, I was referring to Dana’s comment on the Martin Street article.

There is an article reporting the loss of the Martin St. Pizza chef. Unfortunately the bulk of the article consists of attacking owner Don "Bennder", spelling the name incorrectly several times. Of course, comments followed carrying a posthumous tone about the restaurant, which is, in fact, open and still serving great food.

Succumbed. 2. "FROM" heart disease, not form 3. and George McCorkle (you have an extra space) 4. "without naming themselves after a non-band member?" does this make sense? 5. "answer to both of those"....you asked three questions, not two. Pot calling the kettle black. Come on Dana don't hate if you too are making the same mistakes.
