Here’s the original! Much more soul and emotion and the orchestration is far and away superior! My opinion, of course!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I met Don Williams around 1996. I was working for a bus company and he’d bring his bus in to have repairs done that he couldn’t do himself. We’d started the Milkbone act and had begun traveling the southeastern college fraternity/sorority circuit. Our actual first meeting was when I did some HVAC repairs for him and we sat and talked while the A/C went through its cycles. He was a true gentleman and just a nice guy. We crossed paths many times at various colleges and even sat in with each other a time or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We talked and had drinks for about 1 and 1/2 hours in-between his shows, just me and him. Real nice, down to earth guy. Still had the big, powerful voice and did all of Blood, Sweat & Tears hits and not so famous songs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was pretty cool and completely unexpected. In all honesty, I kind of felt bad for Mr. Clayton-Thomas as there was only about 20 people there for the 1st show, not very many for what I considered a top rate musician as was his (mostly brass) band that was with him. That didn't stop them from putting a first rate show at all. There were more people in the audience for the second show than the first, but not many more. A unique night to be sure and one that I will think about and remember for a lifetime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy said Bobby Columby of BS&T. He was definitely one of my favorite drummers! Edited October 3, 2023 by Rye Miles #13621 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
