Alabama A & M vs. Southern at Huntsville
With Southern’s band at home, the Marching Maroon and White of Alabama A & M was the only band playing Saturday, and they managed to keep the crowd hyped throughout the game, Huntsville AL, 11/03/12
Game Day at Lewis Crews Stadium
On Saturday November 3, 2012 I drove down to Huntsville, Alabama to see the Alabama A & M/Southern University game. It was warm, and a perfect day for football, but unfortunately, Southern didn’t bring their famous Human Jukebox band with them, so there was no band battle.
John Michael Shaw Trio-“This is New”
I have been a fan of the music of Kurt Weill for many years, so this past Friday night at the Westin Hotel lobby in Memphis, my jazz trio played this seldom-heard Kurt Weill tune called “This Is New.” Through an odd coincidence for me as a Grambling fan, the lobby was packed to the walls because of a Grambling alumni mixer. Monte Butts is on bass, and George “G-Smoove” Taylor is on the drums.
