Alex Taylor

The other day there was a thread on Jimmy Nalls and a nice write up by Chuck Leavell. In the write up Chuck mentioned the early days & playing with Alex Taylor (brother of James & Livingston).
Alex was one of the early Capricorn acts & unfortunately left us many many years ago - way before his time. Alex played a lot with Chuck, Tommy Talton, Scott Boyer, and many of the early Macon players. Back then I thought Alex had a great voice - gritty, soulful, & bluesy. I picked up a couple of his albums years ago - very good stuff.
Never got to see a concert with Alex. Was wondering if any of you ever had a chance to see him live?
Below are a couple cuts from Alex. There's a good amount of material on youtube. The first is a cut called...hmmm..."Southbound".

Yes.
Before my first ever ABB show, Alex was the opening act. Billed as Alex Taylor and Friends and Neighbors as I recall.
