Have Lunch With Jack the Real Estate Dog?

Get To Know Latitude Margaritaville near Hilton Head SC

Okay, so I wasn't the best drummer while I was making a living at it in Bloomington, Indiana from 1969 to 1973. There were other drummers hankering for my job, but our band was working when a lot of other bands were starving.

And our package was a college party band with great dance music and lots of f...
