I was playing around Jacksonville,Florida when my cousin Butch,Leon Wilkeson and I were playing churches and teen clubs. I was there when Donnie Vanzant and I played Sock Hops at the junior high. I was there when Donnie,Don Barnes and I hired Larry Johnstrom from "Skynyrd". Heck, I was there when Dickie Betts played week ends at the Forrest Inn with "The Second Coming" and "Lynyrd Skynyrd" was still "The One Percent". I've traded guitars with Drew Lumbar,drank beer with Sid Yocum, jammed at the "Savoy" with Duane Allman and sat in with "Dickey Betts and Great Southern". I was always with the right people, just never at the right time. There is no time like the present.This site is dedicated to the memory of: Duane Allman,Barry Oakley,Toy and Tommie Caldwell,Joe Dan Petty,Ronnie Vanzant,Steve and Cassie Gaines,Dean Kilpatrick,Allen Woody,Lamar Williams,Lowell George,and Stevie Ray Vaughn.If you would like to keep up with the old and new in Southern, visit my good friend, Skydog at www.skydog@skydogmusic.com.If you want,in my opinion,to hear one of the best Southern Rock bands on the planet,please visit www.mp3.com/regulators.
