KUDZOO Christmas Issue Published!

Hi Gang!
The new edition of KUDZOO magazine is now LIVE!

NOTE: When the link opens, there is a navigational page. Just click on it to make it disappear. By default the magazine will appear two pages side by side, but If you’re like me, I’d rather look at one page at a time. Note the icon bar right under your browser bar and above the magazine on the left. The magnifying glass is self-expanitory. The left and right arrows are for page navigate, although you can also flip pages using the faint grey arrows to the sides of each page in the black arrow.

Another new feature. If you want to download the issue to keep as a PDF or to print out. You can find s link on the KUDZOO hope page.

            Let me begin by wishing you the HAPPIEST of Holidays! If you’re like me, it’s Christmas, always a wonderful time of year!  To my Jewish friends, I wish a blessed and Happy Hanukkah. and no matter if you are celebrating Kwanza, the Winter Solstice or simply the end of another year, may everyone be happy and blessed. Pray for peace.
            We are thrilled to offer of the latest issue of KUDZOO Magazine, free as always. Our cover story has been a long time coming. I had former Outlaws bassist Harvey Dalton Arnold on the KUDZOO Radio hour a couple of years ago, but I’ve long wanted to have a more in depth conversation with Harvey.
            In addition to our Outlaw buddy, we dug up an interview we did around ten years ago with founding Marshall Tucker Band drummer, Paul T. Riddle, The interview was conducted for a project that never came to fruition, and now we are pleased as punch to present it here for the first time ever!  What a drummer! What a guy!
Speaking of “what a guy,” we also have for you guys a new interview with guitar hero Tommy Talton. It’s all about 1974, and the recording of Laid Back and the subsequent tour that became a remarkable double live album for Gregg Allman. Good stuff.
            We also review not one, not two, but three concerts that were staged in support of the planned Southern Rock Hall of Fame. One in Greenville, SC hosted by Big Blue Planet; one on Chapel Hill, NC hosted by Idlewild South; and one in Middleberg, Florida, the Full Moon Festival, organized by Keith Hall and the American Legion Post. We have a photo feature on Full Moon as well!
            Speaking of photos. Bill Thames kindly allowed us to use many of his excellent photos taken at the Johnny Sandlin Memorial Concert. So many familiar faces. Wish I could have been there!
            We present an article on The Southern Rock Hall of Fame & Museum, our hopes and dreams, with a huge shout out to those who have helped out and expressed interest already.
            In addition to all of this, we have restaurant reviews, a tasty “tailgating” recipe, tons of CD reviews and DVD reviews, and a book review of the long-awaited Charlie Daniels memoir book. (My advice? Ask Santa for a signed copy!)
            As I said at the outset, Happy Holidays, take care of one another and I hope you enjoy this new issue, straight off of the cyber press!
