Metal was the rage, and in Atlanta, you weren't cool if your band didn't play at Charley Magruders. Long live Butch Weaver! I played rock & roll for a living for 18 years, and stayed young and thin. It wasn't untill got a real job that I noticed I was aging.I'm also proud to say that I'm an ELI alumni. I shared the stage with Cookie, Kelly Love, Jo Jo Castinero, Kevin Neal, and vocalist Kevin Tetz who took over after Cookie retired.The video below is the praise/worship team at SUGAR HILL CHURCH, where I've been a member since 2004.
