Molly Hatchet, s present line up has two original members: dave hlbelk and john galvin...bobby ingram has been involved since the early 80's.controversial? Yes.but he helped keep the legacy alive.I give him the benefit of the doubt.I believe his heart was in the right place.controversy aside hes a kick ass guitar player.lead vocalist phil mcormack was tapped personaly by danny joe as his replacement.issues with diabetes were killing him and he saw the writing on the wall.went down fightin' no doubt.

There was a crew there from a indie web radio from nashville"the gator "show.i met him years ago.he was hanging out backstage doing interviews drinking etc.they had brought a dozen large inflatable pool float alligators.his electric air pump crapped out and enlisted the roadies and some guys from all the band's to blow them up to toss out in the crowd.pretty much every one was to stoned or drunk to figure out how to blow them up...fn hilarious.i swore to secrecy who was clueless.one of Greg allmans sons was hanging out back stage,forget which one.pretty sure it was Devon...i was kind of in that crowd incapable of inflating a pool toy as well.
Got me going at our shop now,listened to Hatchet all day,Outlaws,found some Blackfoot I downloaded,good #*&!.Guy I work with lived in Georgia,has 3 shoeboxes of ticket stubs

Blackfoots still around,unfortunately they are a cover band that ricky medlocke put together.on the rare occasions he takes time off from skynrd to play with them...then they're semi legit.if they come around don't waste your money.sad....loved that band.
