Everywhere has history !

 


Where is your towns history ?

Does it have "Fame", "Notoriety", a "Reputation"? "Energy"? 

EVERYWHERE I've ever been offers 'something' you'll find almost NOWHERE ELSE. 

I now live in my ancestral home of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Home of "the singing river" and "The Swampers". "The Swampers" were the original studio band for the Jackson Highways FAME recording studio, who brought in the late 60s-late70s rock era with Percy Sledge, Aretha Franklin, The Almond Brothers, and the first recordings of  Lynyrd Skynyrd. This was soon followed up by anyone and everyone who wanted a number one hit, including those already considered as "super stars" such as Elvis, the Stones, Elton John, etc..

These events transformed the ZERO TRAFFIC LIGHT, ONE HORSE TOWN it was, into the 10 traffic light, 3 horse town it is today ! 

Anyone famous from your area? 

Any special events?

Special attractions ?

What about scenery ?

Geography? 

Any pics ? Music ? Scientific contributions ?  Stories ?

The great fire of 1763 ?

The friutbat invasion of 51 ?
