I'm going to the Historical Society Friday night 9/4/2009 for the Scene reunion. The Outcasts, the major rock band I was in, was on the Scene and we played a few hops with Ronnie. I'll mention the reunion.

I wish I had been bolder in high school...in 1966 my family moved to Arab, Alabama, a little town, and I met a lot of people my age that summer. A bunch of the guys had a band, and I sang with them all summer and into the fall when they all went back to college...that was so much fun. We were called "6 and the Single Girl"...the single girl being me...we were popular locally... the biggest thing we did was play for a college back-to-school-week dance (made $17)...the funnest thing we did was this: there was a local dance hall and they had put in a new floor, had a Floor- Raising Dance, we played, all they wanted to hear was country, so we took all the rock and roll songs we knew and put a country beat to them, they loved us and asked us back...oh, those were the days...I now live just across the river from Muscle Shoals, the hit recording capital of the world (at one time marked as Little Nashville), big names have been here to record The Beatles, Aretha Franklin, Percy Sledge (have seen him in concert), and have met a lot of award winning writers and musicians. It's interesting to find out that they are all just people, nothing unique about them, except they have a passion about something...their music...guess I never had that kind of passion...thought I had that kind of passion when I was young, but not the nerve...or maybe the nerve is the passion...I think it would have been fun to sing with one of Norman's high school bands...
