Taylors Roadhouse Music venue - home of Nashville Open Mic & Roadhouse Music. Grand Re-Opening coming real soon !!! Yep, ...he's almost the most head-strong person I know (me).

If you're interested in the use of YouTube or Facebook Live, you can make that happen here at the Roadhouse !! Let me tell you, if my brother hadn't been so stubborn to do everything I did, my musical abilities and comprehension would have been limited, at best. Mark just has the persistence to just keep on, even when things got ugly, we shared the drive that it takes to get back up, dust off,

and try again. Yep, genuine sibling rivalry pumped the energy to get our music tight and love making music together. He got a high-hat and a snare (I think) for Christmas in 1965, and I got a new guitar...a real nice one, ...and that's where Taylors Roadhouse was born, ...a little 3-bedroom house on Leo Lane, down the street from Haywood Elementary school, in Woodbine. Our father, Tom Taylor, a printer, had that school in mind when he bought the house, because of his six kids ...and we all went to school there. My sister, (Sherry) Anne took some flute lessons, I think, because we encouraged her to join up with us, Herman Cisneros and John Underwood. We learned the rock songs we needed to get out and play for fun, and entertain an audience at the same time. RAINBOW SKATING RINK, behind Tusculum Music, on Nolensville Road, was more than just an ordinary skating rink...it was a real paying gig !! A dream, come true ! We were so young, and happy ...it's no wonder...we made music together !! And ...an even bigger dream could possibly come true. Tom Taylor wanted to start a family business, and if it turns out that the type business wasn't necessarily in printing, it might be in music !!

Edgar Winter is 78 years old today. 12/28/46

Happy Birthday Edgar.

Edgar Holland Winter (born December 28, 1946) is an American rock and blues musician. He is known for being a multi-instrumentalist — keyboardist, guitarist, saxophonist and percussionist — as well as a singer. His success peaked in the 1970s with his band, The Edgar Winter Group, and their popular songs "Frankenstein" and "Free Ride".

Early life.....
Winter was born to John Winter II and Edwina Winter on December 28, 1946, in Beaumont, Texas. Both he and his older brother Johnny were born with albinism, and both were required to take special education classes in high school. Winter states, "In school I had a lot of friends. I wore a lot of white shirts to, like, blend in I guess. No one really gave me a hard time about being albino or taking special education classes. Then again, I wasn't really popular."

By the time Edgar Winter left his hometown of Beaumont, Texas in the 1960s, he was already a proficient musician.

Career....

Edgar Winter performed at Woodstock as part of his brother’s band. Johnny Winter took the stage just after midnight on Monday morning August 18, 1969.

Johnny Winter Band Members at Woodstock:

Johnny Winter: guitar, vocals
Edgar Winter: keyboards
Tommy Shannon: bass
"Uncle" John Turner: drums

Johnny Winter Woodstock Setlist:

Mama, Talk to Your Daughter
Leland Mississippi Blues
Mean Town Blues
You Done Lost Your Good Thing Now/Mean Mistreater
I Can't Stand It (featuring Edgar Winter)
To***co Road (featuring Edgar Winter)
Tell the Truth (featuring Edgar Winter)
Johnny B. Goode (featuring Edgar Winter)

Winter's music encompasses many different genres, including rock, jazz, blues, and pop. From his critically acclaimed 1970 debut release, Entrance, he has demonstrated his unique style and ability to cross the genre lines and do the unexpected. His early recording of "To***co Road" propelled him into the national spotlight. Edgar followed Entrance with two hit albums backed by his group White Trash, a group originally composed of musicians from Texas and Louisiana. White Trash enjoyed huge success, both with the 1971 release of the studio album, Edgar Winter's White Trash, and with 1972's follow-up live gold album, Roadwork.

In late 1972, Winter brought together Dan Hartman, Ronnie Montrose and Chuck Ruff to form The Edgar Winter Group, who created such hits as the number one "Frankenstein" and "Free Ride". Released in November 1972, They Only Come Out at Night peaked at the number 3 position on the Billboard Hot 200 and stayed on the charts for an impressive 80 weeks. It was certified gold in April 1973 by the RIAA. and double platinum in November 1986.

Winter invented the keyboard body strap early in his career, an innovation that allows him the freedom to move around on stage during his multi-instrument high-energy performances.
After They Only Come Out at Night, Winter released Shock Treatment, featuring guitarist Rick Derringer in place of Ronnie Montrose. Later albums included Jasmine Nightdreams, The Edgar Winter Group with Rick Derringer, a live album, Together Live with Johnny Winter, Recycled, a reunion with White Trash, Standing on Rock, Mission Earth, Live in Japan, Not a Kid Anymore, The Real Deal, and Winter Blues.

Major national television and radio campaigns have used Winter's music to advertise their products. Winter has also made frequent television appearances, both to promote his music, and to give his opinions on everything from Politically Incorrect to a commercial with George Hamilton for Miller Lite beer. He has appeared in the film Netherworld, and the TV shows The Cape, Mysterious Ways, David Letterman, and Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
Winter's music has been used in many film and television projects, including Netherworld, Air America, Dazed and Confused, My Cousin Vinny, Encino Man, Son in Law, What's Love Got to do With It, Wayne's World 2, Starkid, Wag the Dog, Knockabout Guys, Duets, Radio, The Simpsons, Q***r as Folk, and Tupac Resurrection. Winter's song "Dying to Live" is featured as "Runnin" (Dying To Live) in the film Tupac Resurrection, the biography on the life of rapper Tupac Shakur. Produced by Eminem, the song includes vocals by the Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, and Edgar Winter himself. "Runnin" was on numerous Billboard charts. It peaked at number 5 on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Singles Sales chart, and the soundtrack CD was number 1 for 8 consecutive weeks.

Winter's CD and DVD, titled, "Live at the Galaxy" was recorded live at the Galaxy Theatre for Classic Pictures in 2003. It features the songs, "Keep Playing That Rock and Roll", "Turn on Your Love Light", "Free Ride", "Texas", "Show Your Love", "New Orleans", "Frankenstein" and "To***co Road". In addition, the DVD includes a 30 Minute Documentary, "Edgar Winter: The Man and His Music".

Winter also played with Ringo Starr in his ninth All-Starr Band in 2006, in his tenth All-Starr Band in 2008 and in his eleventh All-Starr Band in 2010–11. On the 2010–11 tour, Winter would play with Rick Derringer again.

Mission Earth....
Winter also produced, arranged, and performed on the album Mission Earth (1986). This album's words and music were written by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Hubbard is said to have left detailed instructions and audio tapes for the musicians and producers to follow when making the album. Winter described Mission Earth as "both a return to rock's primal roots and yet highly experimental." Winter wrote, "Ron's technical insight of the recording process was outstanding." Winter also described Hubbard's delineation of counter-rhythm in rock as something "which was nothing short of phenomenal, particularly in as much as it had then been entirely unexplored and only later heard in the African-based rhythms of Paul Simon's work, some five years after Ron's analysis."

Alice Cooper - 1970😍
In 1970, Alice Cooper was beginning to establish his reputation as the shock rocker of the era. With his band, also called Alice Cooper, he released Love It to Death, which featured the hit single “I’m Eighteen.” The album marked a pivotal moment, blending hard rock with theatrical elements that would become Cooper’s trademark.
By 1970, his live performances were notorious for their outrageous antics, including staged guillotines and serpents, setting the stage for his future as a pioneering figure in rock theater.

"BACK TO GET YA"
Think I found something that's gonna wreck my mind
Keep it close to me, baby, get it all the time
Looked so good when I first met ya
I told ya, babe, I'd be back to get ya
Ooh yeah
Yeah

Ain't gonna waste any time with you
Hot and ready, gonna come on through
Ain't gonna hang around your door
Gonna pound it down, I gotta get some more

Rip them wires right off your phone
Got to make sure we're all alone
Roll me over till I turn blue
Rockin' and rollin' till way past two

Looked so good when I first met ya
I told you then I'd be back to get ya
You looked so good when I first met ya, uh, come on
Told you then I'd be back to get ya
Get it, mama

Scramble my eggs, honey, come on
It's comin', honey, there it is
Wow, yeah
Oh

Throw your lovin' in my face
You know I'll take you any ol' place
Take it easy, got all the time
Gotta buzz on me, baby, and I'm feelin' fine

Don't get shy or play polite, ha ha
Just shut your mouth and turn off the light
Been alone and I been blue
C'mon, baby, I wanna rock with you

Makin' a mess all over the floor
Keep it going till I get sore
You looked so good when I first met ya
Told you then I'd be back to get ya, here I am, honey

You looked so good when I first met ya
I told you then I'd be back to get ya
Get it, mama

Kind'a reminds me of somebody, ...

Kind'a reminds me of somebody, ...

Thinking of Dickey Betts on what should have been his 81st birthday. Below excerpted from my book Brothers and Sisters.
Amazon -> https://bit.ly/41Uq1Ej
Signed book -> https://bit.ly/3Zwu1v6

Betts’ personality was as complex as his musical background. He was a student of Zen Buddhism and karate, which he used to channel and control a compulsive makeup and bursts of anger - and sometimes to commit violence. He was a tightly coiled athlete with a short-fuse and a mighty temper and also a true believer in the hippie ethos who wrote some of the most oyful songs in the rock canon, including “Revival,” “Blue Sky” and “Jessica.”

Betts could be quiet and thoughtful, expounding on Zen Buddhism, jazz or country music, and he could vanish behind a blank gaze that unnerved people.

“Dickey’s a real Charles Bronson type,” Gregg Allman said. “It doesn’t take long to realize that there are things he knows about himself that you’ll never know, so don’t even get close to his space. Which is fine. He’s a very intricate guy, Dickey Betts.”

the Roadhouse

Let me tell you, if my brother hadn't been so stubborn to do everything I did, my musical abilities and comprehension would have been limited, at best. Mark just has the persistence to just keep on, even when things got ugly, we shared the drive that it takes to get back up, dust off, and try again. Yep, genuine sibling rivalry pumped the energy to get our music tight and love it, or love making it...together. Yep, he's almost the most head-strong person I know (haha). He got a set of bongo drums for Christmas in 1962 (I think), and I got a guitar... a real one! And that's where Taylors Roadhouse was born, ...a little 3-bedroom house on Leo Lane, down the street from Haywood Elementary school, in Nashville 37211. Our father, Tom Taylor, had that school in mind when he bought the house, because there are six of us kids. ... all went there. My sister, Ann took some flute lessons, and we encouraged her to join up with us, and we all learned the songs we needed to learn to be able to get out and play for fun, and entertain an audience at the same time. RAINBOW SKATING RINK, behind (then) Tusculum Music, on Nolensville Road, was more than just an ordinary skating rink...it was a real paying gig! A dream, come true! We were so young, and happy. ..it's no wonder...we made music...together!! And...an even bigger dream could possibly come true.

Tom Taylor wanted to start a family business, and if it turned out that the type business wasn't in printing, it MIGHT be...in MUSIC !!

But, let me start at the beginning, and I will tell the story of how it all came about.

We were raised on the Southeast side, ...first, in Woodbine, which was originally known as Flatrock, the Cherokee name for their tribal meeting area. Ancestry includes Cherokee and Scots Irish, primarily. A strong family heritage, the Taylor ancestors will be described and featured later in this blog. We had Christian parents, Thomas Edward and Dorothy Ann Taylor. There are six of us siblings, 3 boys and 3 girls. Huge family influence by Grandmother Lorena Taylor, and Grandfather, Thomas Edward Taylor Jr., who lived in the Vine Hill community, just a couple blocks from Rains Avenue Church of Christ. After a worship service, the family gathered at their house, where we played Red Rover, Simon Says & Hide and Seek with our cousins, who were also visiting. Pappy worked at the railroad yard, so he would come home from work with his clothes covered with dirt, coal dust and paint. Grandma worked in her family's mattress factory as a seamstress. During the depression, they were barely able to provide for their eight kids. Dad said they would have beans for dinner one night, and fried potatoes for supper the next night ...and on a rare occasion, they would have beans and fried potatoes, both, on the same night. Dad loved to tell us that story, how they survived the Depression era. Dad enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. and served during the Korean Conflict, as Staff Sergeant. After the Service, he attended and graduated from Watkins Institute of Graphic Arts, and worked as Press Room Foreman for Curley Printing Company for 20 years. Before I came along, Mom worked at Standard Candy Company, where they make the Goo-Goo Cluster candy bars and King Leo peppermint stick candy. When I came into the world, she became full-time mother and homemaker. I learned to sing with Momma in worship services at Rains Avenue Church of Christ. First real guitar at age 6, and started learning to play, with the help of a Mel Bay book. By age 10, I could play the guitar and sing a song or two.
