[quote=jawbone]Muscle Shoals was one of my favorites because I attended a police administrator training session one week in that area and Rick Hall brought his buddies for a jam session for us one night in the Hospitality room. I had no idea at that time who any of them were but I quickly learned they were very talented. I didn't realize I was in the presence of musical royalty until I watched the documentary. Man what I would give to replay that night knowing what I know now. A couple of the names I remember were Rick Hall, of course, Spooney Barger, and Candy Staton. I can't recall names but recognized a number of the other ones when I saw the show. Sadly, a lot of those guys are dying off these days.

Roger Hawkins, the Swampers drummer, died last week. I think David Hood is the only one left.
