I haven't heard of him, but some of my bandmates probably have! They go down to Nashville and check out the sence once in a while. I pretty much only go when the Titans are playing football or I go to buy music equipment. Equipment is cheaper and a better selection down there and it is only about an hour away! Speaking of James Brown and soul music, that is what one of my bands does mostly! We play R&B, Soul and a little classic rock. Blues once in a while, too. We have represented the KY Blues Society twice at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN. We wrote all the stuff we did down there and had a blast!! Playing on Beale Street was awesome, but not as awesome as the ribs at Blues City Cafe!! I'll take a trip down there anytime just to eat those ribs! The best I have ever had!!!! That's cool about the Crowes! You were probably talking to part of the band!haha Chris is the one that married Kate Hudson! She is a hottie, fo so!!! I love the Black Crowes music and have played a lot of it over the past 18 years or so. Some of it is on the country side on this last one and a few songs through the years as well. I thought it was pretty cool that they did the shows with Jimmy Page doing the Led Zep stuff and they nailed it!! I have the cd somewhere of that stuff live and it is great!! Not as great as Zep themselves, but great none the less! Would love to hear the full story about the trip and the girl sometime!! Peace, Mark
