[QUOTE="Rick Powell, post: 66155, member: 202"] Re: Marty McCann I remember Kenny Suire, gutarist, vocalist...did he also work for Peavey? Seems like most of the musicians in Meridian worked there at one time or another. The Subway Lounge was in the basement of the old Summers Hotel, which was a popular stopover place for Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, James Brown and other black entertainers in the pre-integration days in MS. The old hotel was finally torn down in 2004, and the Subway Lounge is but a memory. The one visit I made I will never forget...there was no liquor available at the club itself, but you'd go to a house next door and knock on the door and they'd serve you whatever you wanted and you'd carry it back to the club. Got to sit in with Dudley and the band for a few songs. [url=http://www.msbluestrail.org/blues-trail-markers/subway-lounge]Subway Lounge[/url] [/QUOTE]
