I believe they are from the Daytona area originally, Molly Hatchett sprang from Jacksonville as did Skynyrd and Blackfoot. Charlie Hargrett, of the original Blackfoot, still lives here in Gainesville (works in a great shop called Pro Frets -http://www.profrets.com) and plays around town often, occasionally with Molly Hatchett alumnus Banner Thomas on bass. There's still a bit of southern rock to be found down here. -- J.C. Moretta mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tekspeks.com
