This week already sucks

I seen Charlie Daniels at the Cape Cod Coliseum in the early 80’s.

That place was a sweat box “No AC” & summer concerts. They opened the gates at noon for a 8pm show.

The parking lot party was awesome prior to the concerts.

I had just arrived at MCAS Beaufort SC when The Devil Came Down To Georgia started moving up the national charts...Needless to say, that song received a lot of airplay on the 2 Savannah rock stations...Good times, good times...

James Woods gives out a little tidbit about Morricone:

#EnnioMorricone was a film composer for the ages. Sergio Leone had him orchestrate the final scene of Once Upon a Time in America before filming. As shooting commenced, suddenly the music soared live on the sound stage. Greatest movie experience of my life. #RIPEnnioMorricone

Riposa in pace Maestro...grazie di tutto...

First song I ever heard him do...spoke right to me...

Charlie Daniels performed during the SB39 pregame. Cool stuff.

Probably the only Charlie Daniels song that WBCN ever played:

If you had a pulse in the 70s you loved that song.
