Thanks! I didn't see that till now. I didn't even know Marshall Tucker was still alive. 99 years, that is something! I've been thinking about naming my mules when I get a couple, Marshall and Tucker. Good idea?

You better copywrite noharleyyet before some young musicians decide to name their band after you!

Marshall and Tucker is a great idea Paul.

This one was dedicated to original band member Tommy Caldwell who died in a car accident. It should work for Marshall Tucker as well.

Nice tribute to Marshall Tucker by the band.

It’s been a bad couple months for rock n rollers.

RIP Marshall Tucker. Some of them good old boys live a long time. Charlie Daniels was throwing them back hard at 78 years old in Nashville.

What an honor to have the best damn band there ever was as your namesake. RIP Mr. Tucker.

True story, this summer while Marshall Tucker Band was playing here at my local yearly summer concert event, a giant thunderstorm blew over, shut down the concert with lighting. It started a fire on the mtn above town. I cannot make this stuff up.................almost felt like I needed to pay extra.

Last Marshall Tucker concert I went to was in the late 80's at a bar in Wisconsin Dells. I thought I would use the bathroom before the show started, and the band came out of a room nearby. So I fell in line behind the band and headed back towards the stage. I was wearing my cowboy hat and some guy slapped me on the back and said "go get em"! For that brief second I was a member of Marshall Tucker Band!

Saw them in a small venue mid'80's.
