Hey Chris Ivey. You can't keep a good band down.I've known these boys for years. Randy,Jeff & Teddy. I hope Mark is getting better pay from them now than all the BS them three gave him. Sometimes big boys heads are bigger then they are. Still my friends and they know how I feel. We have some side stories of our ACM days as well as their Alabama Jam in Fort Payne.

I would guess he's getting much better pay these days since he is a corporate jet pilot and not a member of, or in any way associated with, Alabama.

Between playing for Alabama and being sued by them, I wonder how he ever found the time to earn his pilot's license…
Lawsuit filed against Mark Herndon
On May 9, 2008 the other members of the group sued drummer Mark Herndon for $202,670 in money allegedly overpaid to him three years earlier after the band's farewell tour concluded. This money was allegedly factored into the net profit and given to Herndon before accounting was completed, an allegation Herndon has denied. The band did not sue Herndon until he requested money from the multiple live albums and songs that the band had released but never paid Herndon for playing on. By filing the lawsuit, Alabama band attorneys mistakenly included copies of band contracts as exhibits along with their lawsuit papers, thus allowing fans a chance to look at the inner workings of the band and revealing that Herndon actually had a contractual full band share of the farewell tour.
Since 1982, Herndon has been a paid employee of Wild Country Inc. as the drummer for Alabama, according to the court papers. In December 2002, a new contract was signed which provided that Herndon would be paid an annual salary of $100,000 and receive a 22.725 percent share of “net Live Performance revenue actually received by The Group, "Alabama."
The suit, which names The Group Alabama Inc. as the plaintiff, also states that Herndon demanded a payment of $65,047.01, which represents his share of an advance against anticipated sales of the “The Last Stand” CD, which was recorded live during the farewell tour and was sold by Cracker Barrel Restaurants.
The contract also states that Mr. Herndon is entitled to receive the same percentage of net revenues from new recordings on which he played. Herndon played drums on a special live CD that was issued to Cracker Barrel called, “The Last Stand,” but his likeness was digitally removed from the photo on the CD’s back cover upon release.
Herndon is now employed as a corporate pilot. He has also been involved locally with the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Speech & Hearing Center. He also worked with Ft. Payne artist Leah Seawright, playing drums on her CD, and writing the liner notes. |
