I am Ok with Alan. We request more recordings by your band, including tunes that the actual MG's never played. Looking in Albert King's repertory would be ...
Patrick, I wasn't aware that the M.G.'s have a new album imminent! Is this true? Have you been chatting to Mr. Cropper again? Anyway, true or not, all the best...
Hi, When I attended the Stax 50th Anniversary Concert after-party this past summer, I had the honor of talking with Steve Cropper. One of the questions I...
John, That's disappointing but very understandable. You would think though that with the amount of garbage released on CD every year that the world and the...
Thanks Alan. If anyone on the group is in Chicago we are playing our first show tomorrow night at Reggie's, although the Hammond will not be there, we still...

I hope you don't mind me telling you that. I know some of the younger ones think Booker T is just part of the group name, but he's a real person that plays...
