Great to see a photo of Jan Jones back in the day. I wish he was still around. Wish I had been in Nashville in those days. Great steel players to be heard every night of the week. Looking at Paycheck's sessionography for 1977 - he was on a hot streak.

First night in town...walked up to the Alley from Lower Broadway and stumbled upon this band and singer...unbelievable!
I remember it well...the Doobie Brothers played Municipal Auditorium that night and Wayne Carson and Wayne Jackson,two pop music action figures from Memphis,got up on stage and sang"Slide Off Your Satin Sheets"with Paycheck...Carson wrote it!He and Jackson had been to the Doobies show and were out "roaring"(look it up)...
A few nights later I went back and George Hamilton IV was singing and Gregg Galbraith and Weldon Myrick were playing with him!
Those were the days... |

Doobie Brothers / Tuesday November 28, 1978 / Nashville Municipal Auditorium / Nashville, Tennessee
I worked the Western Room in 1993. I also did some MC'ing on the show - and then on break - I'd stand in the doorway and act like a barker - bringing the people in. One night it snowed on my feet. I thought I had really made it in Nashville! (working through the winter). That about sums up my career. I did hear great stories from the long-timers about the old days on the Alley. Gene O'Neil was at Skull's. |

Different Doobie show...they were carrying the Memphis Horns with them and Wayne Jackson was the trumpet player...he and Carson were buddies and so Carson went down to hang and watch the show...summer of '77.
(Note:I can't find any record of the Doobies at Municipal in 77...maybe it was the Huntsville show they all went to...pretty close and time to get back and hit the bars!Sure it wasn't 78 because I was playing at the "Carousel Club"by then...right next to"Embers",where I saw Paycheck,etc...about a year earlier...
I also went down to"Pete's Place"that night and Larry Sasser came in...he'd been to the Doobie Brothers show,too!
What a magical time.
Nashville is nothing like that now...that little"spark"in the air...gone. |

Nashville today is nothing like it was 20 years ago when I first got here, and I can only imagine what was it like in 70's ... wish I was here back then... it sounds like a magical times indeed...
