On this day…and some Atlanta trivia.

On this day in 1945, Paul Goddard, bassist for Atlanta Rhythm Section, came into this world.  But did you know that Goddard and others from ARS also, at one time, were in Mylon LeFevre’s band?  I was a big Mylon fan as a teen.   You want more? One of Mylon’s signature songs was Trains Up In The Sky (link to video), written by Jerome Olds.  Jerome’s three sons are in the Atlanta band Family Force 5.   You want more?  Mylon is father-in-law to Peter Furler, who fronts the Newsboys.  Many of you will remember that they, too, were an Atlanta band for a few years upon their arrival in the States from Australia.   You want more?  Atlanta’s Tim Huffman of iVideosongs, buddy to me and many of you, was also in Mylon’s band for a time.  I think that’s him in the picture below, on the far right.  Can anyone confirm?   Anyone have anymore degrees of Kevin Bacon?  I’m tired.
