Shenandoah in Macon, Ga 'Whiskey River (club)/April 17/09 Category: Music Myself, Mike Folsom, Bart barlettano, Byron Cumbie and Jimmy Yeary left aboard the "Hillbilly Hotel" from Tn to pick up Jim Seales and Mike Mcguire on our way to do a show in Macon, Ga.  John Gee was driving. We arrived in Macon, Friday..April 17 ..mid-morning, at the Whiskey River Club.  Our soundcheck was scheduled for 2 pm that afternoon, so we had plenty of time to kill.  Our opening act was from Nashville and we had fun hangin' with them and talking about mutual friends. After soundcheck they fed us a meal..whatever we had ordered off the menu..and we ate in the comedy club that was right next door.  It was very good..I had the grilled chicken dinner and a salad. After eating, several of us went back to the hotel to get cleaned up.  Got back to the venue from the hotel around 9:30 and hung out till showtime.  Thanks to our buddy, Butch Horton for running us around. Shenandoah hit the stage at 11:00 pm and rocked a very enthusiastic crowd for a long set and afterwards we signed till we headed back to the hotel around 3 am.  Several of us ran in and got showers..because we would not have any for the show in Auburn, Al later that day.  We left the hotel and left Macon around 3:30 and headed on down to Auburn, Al.  I hit the bunk around a quarter till four..knowing we would have an early morning load-in and soundcheck in Auburn..just three hours later..at 7 am.. We were gonna be some tired boys.
