I only saw the Marshall Tucker Band once in my life...
And I remember....
God... please take care of them boys....
I listened to MTB all day today and thought about all the great shows I have seen them play the last 30 years. They were all very special and so damn good. I miss Toy, Tommy, and George. What a band!

man,is this what we have foward to look to.our rock and roll heros moving on to the afterlife.i grew up with the marshall tucker band,really makes you appreciate the good bands we have around now.
Mr. George McCorkle......RIP.......here is a clip from the CMT website..........'Marshall Tucker Band guitarist George McCorkle died Friday morning (June 29) in Nashville after being diagnosed with cancer earlier this month. He was 60. He co-founded the Marshall Tucker Band in 1971 in Spartanburg, S.C., with vocalist Doug Gray, guitarist Toy Caldwell (who died in 1993), bassist Tommy Caldwell (who died in 1980), drummer Paul Riddle and flute and saxophone player Jerry Eubanks. McCorkle, who served as rhythm guitarist through 1983, wrote one of the band's Southern rock anthems, "Fire on the Mountain."'.....................
It is almost funny that they say 'rhythm guitarist'..............watch Tuckers DVD 'Live from the Garden State'..............especially on Searchin' for a Rainbow.......he sure has the right stuff!
Rest assured ...Your contribution to the timeless music for our generation and many others has been inspirational at the very least!
See you soon in "Them Blue Ridge Mountain Skies"
R.I.P. George
George McCorkle, One of Spartanburg's finest and as jambase.com quote's Paul Riddle "A true blue collar working man whose contributions to the Marshall Tucker Band were huge". Sounds like a pretty darn nice guy too.
this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay of-topic, but just a reminder that Fetchin' Bones is having reunion shows this weekend - tonight in Charlotte at Amos, tomorrow in Atlanta at Smith's Olde Bar.
Hope Nicholls is a gen-oo-ine rock star, and a southern treasure.
mrmilas, I am heading out to Levitt Pavillion tonight for a show, if you aren't busy you should come out!
Here is the band site...

My husband Scott(percussion) and our very own TerrapinTom(bass) are gonna be performing w/ a band called the Freightshakers at Mansion Hill Tavern in Newport,KY.
Feel free to join the party & boogie all night long!
PM me if anyone wants directions.
keepin' politics aside.... I just saw Michael Moore's "Sicko" and thought the movie was VERY well done.
anniversary wishes to BDOB and b-day wishes to Byard

RIP George McCorkle...
My SC homeboy had "Ramblin On His Mind" today....
and decided to catch up with some guys he used to play with....
Great words written for Mr. McCorkle here today. George will never be forgotten but it's going to be one heavenly jam in the sky. Me being from Greenville, SC the Tucker boys were always from right up the road. The upstate of South Carolina has taken great pride that this band called Spartanburg home and I'll be forever grateful for the music that George, Toy, Tommy, Doug, Paul and Jerry gave us. Take The Highway!!!!
Happy Birthday Byard...:biggrins:
Six long months on a dust covered trail
They say heaven's at the end but so far it's been hell
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
Happy B-day Byard! Get well too!
DBOB,
Good ideas Dave.
As said by Elvis Costello...
"What's so funny about Peace, Love and Understanding?"
