That was an awesome video. I've never heard of that site before, but as I was watching the Big Sandy video, I looked at some of the ones below it and found a bunch of my friends!
Link Removed highlights a couple of guys that I've known for 35 or so years. David Hood is the bass player for the original Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, commonly referred to as "The Swampers," referenced in Skynyrds's Sweet Home Alabama in the line that says, "Well, Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers...They've been known to pick a song or two..." Quite the understatement that was. Rick Hall's Fame Studios and the Swampers have recorded and backed more artists than even they know. David and I were sittin' around at a jam session one time during a break in the live music and an Aretha Franklin song came on. I asked him if that was him playing bass on that song. He said he didn't know, mighta been, mighta not been, he just couldn't remember!
Two of the guys in that video, Donnie Fritz and Scott Boyer, were at a jam session that a friend of mine and I have put on in Gadsden, AL for the last 15 years called "The Jam For Duane." Our Jam is a tribute/party to honor the memory and musical legacy of Duane Allman. David Hood and Boyer and Fritz and all the Muscle Shoals guys come every year because Duane Allman was a Fame Studios session player before he formed The Allman Brothers Band. Here's a video I recorded of Donnie and Scott, along with another Muscle Shoals and Fame alumni, M.C. Thurmond servin' up some of that Muscle Shoals Sound with a side of Fried Chicken.
Sorry for the off-topic banter, but that was a trip clickin' on that link and runnin' into a bunch of ol' friends!
