Reporting in Sullivan
With a 60th birthday celebration for three of its original members as an excuse, one of Moultrie County’s diamonds in the rough resurfaced Saturday, November 22 at the Sullivan American Legion to reunite old friends and relive some good times.
What started as “the worst garage band in history”, according to guitar player Keith Wood, has developed into something like an extended family over the years, with some players phasing out and others joining in. But one thing has remained constant through all the changes: a deep love of music and a deep joy in playing it together. Originally comprised of Keith Wood on guitar, Tim Gotts as lead singer, Jan Courtright on drums, Scott Phillips on guitar/harmonica, and Dave Morgan on bass, the band has been joined by Jeff Tower on bass, Diane Conner on keyboard and vocal, as well as others.
