Wow! Dixie Dregs! Steve Morse is/was one of the most Unbelievably Amazing Guitarists ever. I actually got to be on their stage/equipment crew when they did a concert at Valdosta State College circa 1978-79. I was in the VSC Jazz Band and DD needed some extra hands. They contacted Band Director to ask for volunteers.

Awesome Concert!

The one thing that made GT homecoming different fro other schools was the Wreck Parade. Specifically the contraption portion. Since that’s gone homecoming is really just a popularity contest. No real reason to think it’s special.

I’ve been listening to them lately on Spotify. When they run low on Dregs music they start playing other badass guitarists like Les Dudek. I’ve gotten to listen to guys I’ve never heard of before.

They still have a parade. They just don’t have the great big contraptions we used to build.they still have classic cars. Seems like half the parade was just SJW’s celebrating SJW öööö.

I think he was probably in his late 20s (28) if it's around 92'. He was born in 64'. I thought he was younger too.

He was my favorite singer. As Jason Everman said, who was drummer at one point for Nirvana and then drummer at one point for Soundgarden "Chris Cornell was a genetically born rock star". His dream was to play for Soundgarden.

After Soundgarden, Everman joined the Army and became an Army Ranger and a Green Beret.
GenX for the win.

Yeah, the Wreck parade has been lame as hell for years now. Can’t build a Wreck for the parade in Minecraft, I guess.
