OC and DC Positions

[olddog75]

Just for the record, Louisiana Tech had a brush with Lynyrd Skynyrd's greatness TWICE, as the boys from Jacksonville performed concerts in Tech's old Memorial Gym on 10/9/1973 and again on 9/18/1974. The later concert was witnessed in person by yours truly, when I was just a high school student. I still remember the confederate flag unfurling from high above the Memorial Gym rafters as the band played "Sweet Home Alabama".

Skynyrd also performed in Monroe on 1/19/76. All three of these concerts were prior to the bands plane crash on 10/20/1977.

I was at both, I think I remember you HD at the '74 concert. You were that little kid who streaked across the stage, of course you were so fast, all the girls were disappointed!

that's not as strange as a guy from northern california writing "born on the bayou"

he also wrote about cotton fields back hom down in louisiana about a mile from texarkana. he must like this area even if he doesnt have the geography down just right.

Since the thread was already corrupted, I felt why not just drop it off a cliff

"What is Style... Alex."

Fogerty didn't write that one--it came out way before CCR ever began recording.

Back to the hirings!

[HoDo-Tech70]

Yeah, back to the hirings. I hope the decisions are announced soon, or many of you will be singing this #3 on the charts hit song from 1966 - my freshman year at TECH.

Added in edit: I tried to post this during the frenzy during the speculation about the departure of Coach Dooley.

That's a Lead Belly cover, as was Midnight Special (without going to the shelf, I think Lead Belly was credited with writing these, but much of his work was arranging even older folk tunes).

Susie Q was Dale Hawkins (I've seen him live; killer).

Fogerty - and a tremendous list of other popular folks...- would tell you how much Louisiana artists and styles influenced their work.

Mandatory reading for everybody (and written by a Tech guy, at that): Louisiana Rocks!

And there is a state of the composer on Texas St in Shreveport. "The King of Fanning St."

Thanks. It least they did something with it:

Creedence Clearwater Revival on their (1969) album Willy and the Poor Boys. This version hit #1 in Mexico in 1970.

[Tech77]

Yeah, CCR. I like that. Let's recommend that to Coach Mick for his audio coordinating job at next year's signing day luncheon.

[CChandler]

Yeah, CCR. I like that. Let's recommend that to Coach Mick for his audio coordinating job at next year's signing day luncheon.

easy solution to this: BoP music. Fight song, etc.

[MICKEYS14]

Yeah, CCR. I like that. Let's recommend that to Coach Mick for his audio coordinating job at next year's signing day luncheon.

I was actually thinking more on the lines of Jerry Lee Lewis--he & his rockin' band from Ferriday played our Bolton HS Prom at the Bentley Hotel in Alexandria in 1959. He is scheduled in one of the casinos over in Bossier sometimes this month, so he is still ALIVE. How 'bout background music of BREATHLESS, one of his huge hits.
