through, then we walked across the street to the ocean. Yep, it was that close! We ducked out of the rain again into a sea side restaurant called Sliders where I ordered up my second oysters in two days. (yummy.) We ended up with a nice crowd, and I
hosted our very special guests Greg T. Walker (Blackfoot), Tim Lindsey (Molly Hatchet) and Bobby Ingram(Molly Hatchet.) After talking to the crowd a bit and introducing my guests, we started taking questions. It was great fun, the folks were all nice and they asked some darn interesting questions. A large time was had by all. On May 16, 2015 my friend Colleen and I
attended the South Carolina Book Festival (
scbookfestival.org) at the Metropolitan Con- vention Center in Columbia, SC. Mary Beth and Marsha had a booth set up for Mercer University Press, and we hung out with them for a while prior to my participation in a panel discussion on Art, Craft, and Song. I joined fellow authors Bill Thompson, and Dave Williams on a panel moderated by Lynda Bouchard prior to our signings. It was great fun, and I really enjoyed meeting Bill and Dave. Oh, and thanks to T.J. Wallace for her tireless work on this great event! On Friday, May 22 the Rebel Yell Book
Tour rolled into Nashville, Tennessee. Howlin' Books/Grimey's Too Records
nie Bramlett (Delaney & Bonnie, The Allman Brothers Band,etc), Donnie Winters (The Winters Brothers Band) and Billy Crain (The Outlaws, Henry Paul Band). We set up for a little jam. I love seeing old friends get together who haven’t seen one another in years,
like Bonnie, Donnie and Billy. Part way into the set, long time Winters
Brothers Band bassist Rick Burke showed up, plugged in and joined the jam. We had a fun little set. The music was as
follows: Fire On the Mountain (Buffalo Lead Vocal); Lonesome Boy from Dixie (Billy Crain Lead Vocal, written by his brother Tommy and dedicated to his memory); Shot- gun Rider (Donnie Winters Lead Vocal); Come On In My Kitchen (Bonnie Bramlett Lead Vocal);Can’t You See (Buffalo Lead Vocal); Will The Circle Be Unbroken (Bonnie Bramlett Lead Vocal.) The Tour will officially conclude with a spe-
cial concert and book signing at The Alabama Music Hall of Fame in Tuscumbia, Alabama in late July. Watch the tour calendar at
michaelbuffalo.net for details. It has been a great experience and so much fun. Major thank yous to all who came out to the sign- ings. It was so nice to see so many old friends and to make so many new ones. Until I see y’all again, Keep it real and keep it Southern! I want to give a huge thank you to all of the store propri-
etors who booked us, and to the Southern Rock stars who gave so freely of their time and talents! A huge thanks to Mary Beth, Marsha and Marc and the entire staff of Mer- cer University Press! Thanks to my friends who drove and attended the events with me, Colleen Knights, Rick Cash and Scott Greene! And finally, many thanks to Kathie Ben- nett for helping book the initial tour dates!
