I should go see them in L5P more often. My mid-year resolution!

She told me about some guy ‘from England” who had eaten there the day before. I found out later that day from the AJC, that guy was Mick Jagger, who played later that day at the Municipal Auditorium.

I also ate many time at the Deacons. He would ring a cow bell whenever a politcian came in. I saw Andy Young, Jimmy Carter and and many others there. Looks like Sons Placeis now closed.

He and the Convicts are still playing after 25 years. Go see them at Kavarna on July 16 with original member Jon Byrd, who is now a Nashville stalwart. Wish I had seen them at the Austin Avenue Buffet back in the day. Saw a bunch of the bands that Nellie Belle listed, though I never got to see Deacon Lunchbox. And for those that wonder if they still make music in L5P anymore, the answer is yes! Go out and see some of it you old farts! I am almost 50 with 2 kids and I still get out whenever I get a chance. You can afford a babysitter and a taxi home if you live in Decatur, so go see live music: Gentleman Jesse and His Men, the Forty-Fives, Noot d’ Noot, Anna Kramer, Caroline and the Ramblers, The Biters, Ghost Rider Car Club, AM Gold, Sonoramic Commando, Kingsized, any band with Johnny McGowan, any band with Jonathan Lloyd–L5P lives on!

I saw them all — maybe not all at the Pub. I forgot some people: Kristen Hall, Dede Vogt (and her bands), oh and a guy I forget today but remembered last night…
