Mike Hewitt purchased Tall Timbers Tavern a couple years ago and has since posted several videos of it on Facebook. I tried figuring out how to copy and upload those videos here on the Buzzyblog but had to settle for just posting the links listed below.

I can still hear Joe Drury playing the sax to this tune back when Bobby Wright, Mike Nelson, Robby Hall and I were trying to pretend we were a rock n roll band – Bobby Banana and the Bunch. I don’t want to ruin this tune for you but the original version, a radio show intro, had lyrics “Top tunes, news and weather, so glad we can get together on the Tom Shannon show, KB radio, KB Radio.” The Rocking Rebels asked songwriter Tom Shannon if they could cover the tune as an instrumental and the rest is history. They managed to sell over a million copies of this bad boy.
