We need a kick-off fundraising event.
Of course, a concert.
All we need is some "wild-eyed southern boys"
Jim Dandy Mangrum, "Uncle Lijah" and the boys from BLACK OAK ARKANSAS are still rocking. I've also heard in our MJ editorial meetings that Molly Hachett wouldn't mind a little "Flirtin' With Disaster," and have expressed an interest in this exact idea. Blackfoot could come to town on the "TRAIN-TRAIN." Back in September the Ozark Mountain Daredevils band was out "Standing On A Rock" in Poplar Bluff, MO. .38 Special was certainly "Back Where You Belong." "Can't You See," the Marshall Tucker Band visiting with us? Charlie Daniels knows the "Devil Went Down To Georgia," so he'd probably like to come to Florida. Sadly Ruby Starr is now a "Grey Ghost." Canned Heat loves "Going Up The Country." Lobo says "I'd Love You To Want Me." Wet Willy is all for it, they want us to "Keep On Smiling." Grinderswitch desires us to "Let The South Wind Blow." We'll all be dancing the "Fandango," when ZZ Top hits town. I think we could get the Atlanta Rhythm Section out of "Doraville," to do a benefit concert. Just for fun I'd like to invite Louisiana's LeRoux to "Take a Ride On a Riverboat," and come on down. If we could get LeRoux, I'd hope CJ Chenier would bring their "Bow Legged Woman," along for the ride.
Bottom line Jacksonville, "If You Want To Get To Heaven," we'll do this!
