My story about the Nighthawks...Saw them, the Nighthawks and George Thorogood one night in Raleigh. George got a bit overshadowed by both.
I was at Rose's Cantina in Atlanta listening to The Fabulous Thunderbirds featuring Jimmy Vaughan on lead guitar. Shortly after midnight a group of guys came in and mingled with the group during a break. After the break those guys took the stage . Jimmy Thackery took Vaughan's guitar and the place went wild.
I asked someone who these guys were and was told they were the Nighthawks and had just finished a performance at the the Great Southeast Music Hall. They played at the Hall again the next night and I was there sitting on the floor drinking buckets of beer and listening to one of the best blues bands ever !
