Don Sweeney Bayou Song
'
The Milton Sunrise Kiwanis Club had a hayride in April on a farm in Chumuckla. Don Sweeney was the entertainment, providing a number of country and folk songs on the ride and afterward. Most of his songs are written and arranged by himself. He bills himself as a singer, songwriter and storyteller. His phone number is 850-554-5154. The Sunrise Kiwanis has breakfast at 7AM every Wednesday a Tanglewood Golf Course in Milton. Consider being involved with a community minded group like this. I will be re-taping this so I can get a better mix on his voice and the guitar. But - enjoy this anyway.

Drummer became a General
The band - the Ventures - had a young drummer for their first hit song and then they had to let him go because he was only 17 and could not play in the local clubs. The kid joined the Air Force and became a 4 star general. Years later he came back to the band to play one more time.

TOMBIGBEE Waterway from the LANDING A DAY BLOG
We recently camped out at an Army Corps campsite on the Tombigbee waterway. It was a great campsite. BUT - I wanted to know more about the river and the waterway itself - recalling that a recently deceased friend from Chumuckla (Clyde Moore) had piloted tugs on this waterway 20 plus year ago. FOUND THIS BLOG. It is a very interesting blog concept - the author "lands" on random google map spots daily and researches the area for readers. How about that?
