Jam Memories #1

For those following me on Facebook, you know that me and my brother Larry are going to Volunteer Jam 2018 on March 7.

We attended a few Jams back in the day, 5,6 and 7 to be specific.  Saw Charlie and a lot of the guests in other shows through the years.

I shared this memory with Amy just a few minutes ago, and decided to share it on my blog and with all of you!

It was Volunteer Jam 6 in 1980, I'm pretty sure, and the Oak Ridge Boys took the stage.  A great show no doubt.  As children we had seen them when our parents took us to the All Night Gospel Sing at War Memorial Auditorium.

I don't recall exactly what songs they did, but William Lee Golden stood there and sang his parts and moved his upper body, but I swear his feet never moved!  When I commented on that to Mike, he said "His shoes were nailed to the floor". 

So perfectly Mike!!  And while he won't be with us in person March 7, I'll bet he'll see the show from the best seat available to watch the drummers!
