THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT!

ALABAMA LINE DISASTER RELIEF JAM

We raised thousands of dollars for the disaster relief efforts, not to mention helped kick off a NATIONAL campaign of awareness for the American Red Cross and their efforts due to the recent disasters!

  
Donations:   www.RedCross.org or call 1-800-HELP-NOW

Please visit the following artist's websites and let them know that you appreciate their participation and generous support of the Alabama Line Disaster Relief Jam!

  The Washington Post says:"The beach itself has been relocated to the dance floor of the Flora-Bama Lounge, a musty, grimy, wondrous roadhouse that sits on the border of the two states. The lounge, which has hosted headliners as diverse as Kid Rock and Hank Williams Jr., is so beloved that word of its possible demise was greeted with almost as much dismay as the persistence of power outages and the endless waits for ice and water. The sand rises halfway to the ceiling -- and what a ceiling it is: covered with dollar bills and dangling bras placed there in happier, raunchier times.

But despite the transformation, the annual interstate mullet toss will live again, the regulars said Friday as they ducked into the sagging hulk that was -- and is sure to be again -- Perdido Key's best-known landmark.

"We party hard," said Paul Bell, a maintenance man so loyal that he stayed at the bar during the storm. "Don't worry. We'll make it bigger and better."
 

The benefit, respectfully dubbed the ALABAMA LINE DISASTER RELIEF JAM, will benefit the American Red Cross disaster relief efforts, with all donations being given to the American Red Cross disaster relief fund which enables the Red Cross to provide food, shelter, counseling and other assistance to those in need.

Please pray for Kevin and all of our soldiers every night. God Bless America.

Dear Wayne,     I first heard your music at Harry's bar while at college at the University of Alabama. It quickly became a Tuesday night ritual. My friends and I always enjoyed crazy buckets and singing along.   I am now a marine serving in Iraq with 1st Force Recon Co. I brought a couple of your CDs with me. Now all these Cali boys understand the term great southern Rock. They love your music now as much as us Redneck boys do.  Your songs always take me back to a much simpler time and place, and for that I thank you. During down time I put on my headphones and just drift away.  I should be state side in a few months and hope to catch a show in Bama.  I know you're busy but I just thought you would like to know your music is now officially international and also Recon approved. We are givin' em' hell here.  Hope your doin' the same. Sincerely, Kevin Eads 1st Recon Co. After a long op.  Kevin,on the right, with Blake.  Both from Tuscaloosa, Al.! Kevin and a buddy after some undercover work riding around in some locals car.

Alabama born and bred, southern rockers of outlaw country - Wayne Mills Band - play their first Fan Fair as special guests of the Country Music Association and What A Trip. Lead singer and founder Wayne Mills will join Linda Davis ("Does He Love You"), Billy Currington ("Walk A Little Straighter"), Josh Turner ("Long Black Train"), and hit songwriter Jim Collins ("She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy") for a very special acoustic performance on the stage of the Ryman Auditorium on Friday, June 11, 2004.

We played the Ryman auditorium (original grand ole opry house) for the first time.  We got to stay in the Minnie Pearle dressing room.  Pretty cool.  We've been talking to Jimmie Johnson.  He produced several of Lynyrd Skynyrd's albums as well as The Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin and a school of other legendary acts..  He heard us play in Nashville and wants to produce our next cd.  He said we reminded him of Skynyrd the first time he heard them play.  He also added that he thought we were a cross between Skynyrd and Charlie Daniels.  That's HUGE!  Thanks for the compliment Jimmy.  Keep your fingers crossed for us.
