Daniels's Volunteer Jam) of musicians help- ing musicians, dedicated to raising funds and helping those brothers and sisters who have fallen on hard times. The MFV held their first session in Huntsville, Alabama, on March 14th, with players like Fame rhythm guitarist Jr. Lowe, Stephen Foster of the Doo-Dah Band, Little Richard's saxophonist, Guy Hig- ginbotham, and Ray Brand of the Crawlers. The best is yet to follow: John's enthusi-
asm and unbridled energy for the next phase has caught the attention and support of a monster cast: Chuck Leavell , Bobby Whit- lock, Bonnie Bramlett , Jeff Cook , Jimmy Hall Guy Higginbotham , Delbert McClinton, Pete Carr , David Hood , Owen Brown , Kelvin Holly , Donnie Fritts, Dan Penn, Roger Hawkins, Donnie Fritts, Lee Roy Parnell, De- laney Bramlett , Michael Duke , Jim Horn, Wayne Chaney, Owen Brown, Spooner Oldham, Butch Trucks, Milton Sledge, Wayne Perkins.
And, if you're part of the MFV mailing list,
you've read John's "Cat Tales," where he lays down some funny and exotic yarns like he's got a bit of Davy Crockett and a sailor from the high seas in his soul - and a need as big as a barn door to share with man and wom- ankind.

John D., tell us a story about the roots of Southern music---and use a backhoe, 'cause these are some deep roots - John Buck Wilkin, aka Ronny of Ronny and The
Daytonas...in my opinion is the Brian Wilson of Southern Rock. In the late '50s and early '60s there was a genre of music called "Landlocked Surf Music"; Buck Wilkin was one of the founders of this goodtime Beach and Hot Rod style of music. He had hits like "GTO" and "Sandy" and "Bucket -T" and oth- ers that are certified anthems of rock 'n roll
