| GARY ALLEN & BARRY BARNES by Pat Adams : These guys have been playing together since Herbert Hoover was president. They actually started playing together in the early 70's, during the Nixon years. Below are pictures of some of the bands that included Gary Allen & Barry Barnes. Their songs from the Charlie Daniels Band continue to get airplay on the radio daily. The Fire On The Mountain album is the most popular album among the C.D.B. catalog, producing southern classic songs including The South's Gonna Do It, Long Haired Country Boy, Trudy, and others. Barry Barnes wrote and sung "Feeling Free" on the popular triple-platinum (or more) LP. Several live songs on the album, were recorded by the guys at the very first Volunteer Jam. The Volunteer Jam eventually became a Nashville tradition for decades, until Charlie took it on the road to a nationwide audience. I personally remember seeing these guys several times in the 1970's. One concert at the Municipal Auditorium around 1974 that comes to mind, included the CDB, the Marshall Tucker Band, and Black Oak Arkansas. A decibel meter measured this concert as the "loudest concert" ever held in Nashville. I'm sure the Pink Floyd at Vanderbilt Stadium broke that record. I also remember seeing Gary and Barry in the band "Push" at the old Fanny's bar in Nashville. Gary Allen, Barry Barnes and Mark Fitzgerald made music news when the three left the Charlie Daniels Band, and formed Push, with popular KDF Disc Jockey Carl P. Mayfield as their manager. We have pictures of The Jets in 1985 playing on top of the 103-KDF rock 'n' roll radio station rooftop with Barry, Gary and bass player Nick Rather (currently with Gary Lewis & The Playboys). We hope to have Barry Barnes to play & sing at the jam soon.

| TennesseeConcerts Pat Adams & Nashlinks Chip Curley Chip Curley's Nashville Tennessee related pages have become the most popular of the vintage Nashville websites. His www.nashlinks.com is very informative with his Nashville events calendar. He has a cool page on his www.nashlinks.com/remember page with memories that even go back further than me. Chip's combo & band pages document a history of Nashville bands from the 1950's www.nashlinks.com/shadows.htm , the 1960's www.nashlinks.com/sixties.htm and the 1970's www.nashlinks.com/seventies.htm . As a kid, my grandparents lived next door to Chip's family. I remember knowing Chip's younger brother and going to their house a time or two in the 60's, although neither Chip or myself can not remember if we ever met back then. I told Chip that when I started out to create a website, |
| I had planned to come up with a vintage Nashville website myself, but changed to Tennessee concerts after I saw that he had great vintage Nashville web pages already. I knew I could not compete with NashLinks, but will admit, I have been influenced by the good things that Chip Curley has done on the internet. My many concert pictures and a love for music guided me in the direction of a Nashville Tennessee Concert web site in 2003. I have noticed that NashLinks and TennesseeConcerts overlap often on the major search engines. Gary Allen claims that NashLinks & TennesseeConcerts are the two best sites in town.

| Nashville Musicians Gary Allen & Barry Barnes Have A Long History Of Playing In Bands Together |
| Nashville Tennessee's Play it Again Jam The "Play It Again Jam" began at a Nashville recording studio near the Fairgrounds in early 2006, by Nashville drummer Gary Allen and guitarist/singer/songwriter C.J. Dubuisson. The Jam was twice a month on Sunday afternoons beginning at 4:00pm. It went on until whenever, as late as midnight. I (Pat Adams) came on board in April of 2006 and started documenting the jams by with pictures and videos on my TennesseeConcerts website. I also play tambourine occasionally. Our picture pages and videos show some of the hundreds of musicians that came. We even had musicians to show up from out of state. We would like the thank the many musicians, that have jammed with us at the jams, including musicians that have performed on-stage with, or worked with the Charlie Daniels Band, the Marshall Tucker Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Dickey Betts, Kiss, J.J. Cale, Leon Russell, Sam & Dave, Mary Wells, Wilson Pickett, Pacific Gas & Electric and others. The lease ended on the recording studio (old Jam building) in December of 2007. The Jam took a break, while various groups of jam musicians played shows in downtown Nashville under The Outfit, The House Cats & The Nashville Footstompers. In November of 2008, Gary Allen, Walter Jowers, myself and others brought back the Play It Again Jam to downtown Nashville, and the internet. The Jam takes place on the last Sunday of the month from 4-8pm. Musicians and audience welcome. Musicians can check out our YouTube videos, to see if you think you would fit in to our format.

Pretty cool and much better than karaoke. They will do it again Sunday, December 28th. Chip's SLIDESHOW of the Jam http://www.pbase.com/deadelvi s/playitagain&view=slideshow Chip's Community Calendar http://nashlinks.com ************************* The Play It Again Jam Is Back ! Windows Off The Cumberland 515 Second Avenue South Sunday December 28th http://www.tennesseeconcerts. com/jam http://www.myspace.com/ windowsoffthecumberland The Play It Again Jam returns Sunday, December 28th, with host Gary Allen along with the jam sponsor, Pat Adams of Tennessee Concerts. The Nashville Footstompers are all jam alumni, including Walter Jowers - guitar, from James Brown's house band and syndicated writer. "Fast" Kenny Utterback- guitarist from Pacific Gas & Electric, Andy Olsen-bass from Trailer Trash and Scott Van Zen, guitar- LA producer who has worked with everyone from Kiss to Mattel. This is a rock and roll jam that we try to steer into an American and English classic rock direction. We also have R&B, blues,soul players and singers that play everything from James Brown to The Beatles. Nashville is full of open mike, country & blues jams, but we tend to agree with Steve Martin in The Jerk ,"Those songs depress me ". We play Thrill Is Gone at probably every jam, so if it's classic we like it. I will tear my own head off, if I have to play Stormy Monday one more time! Drummers: bring your stick bags. Guitarists: please bring a small 18 watt amp with a 10" or 12" and no pedal boards/gadgets etc., as they take up space, get stepped on and require extra time to dial you into the mix. We are looking for a piano player that will commit to be in the house band and bring a keyboard. We do have a bass amp. The jam will expand back to its original format (twice a month) in 2009. Get pictures, videos, and current jam information from the jam page at TennesseeConcerts compliments of Pat Adams, the original sponsor of this musical shindig. Everyone is invited as long as you can walk a straight line and pass a musical IQ test. I require a piano player to play Last Date by Floyd Cramer. I'm sorry, but if I played keys I would know it, and I was always expected to know Wipe Out. We look forward to seeing you and meeting like minded players, oh yeah... GO TITANS!
