All this stuff is at your fingertips, on the internet. If you have a serious brain injury, it would probably be best to go to Orlando instead Leesburg Regional. Rob Grill died from complications of a head injury sustained in a fall in June 2011. After suffering two strokes following the fall, each located in different parts of his brain, he fell into a coma.

Prior to that, Rob had been on pain killers for about ten years due to a painful bad hip. In fact he was arrested and charged in 2007 with three felony counts of illegally obtaining prescription painkillers. The charge states that Grill obtained prescriptions from four different doctors for 490 doses of the painkiller oxycodone during a two month period.

You can see he should have never been on that roof, here's a performance from 2010 where he is no longer playing the bass and has to be seated and you can tell he's slurring his words.

I saw Molly Hatchet January 8th at Savannah Center and the oldest member in the band was the keyboard player John Galvin, who was invited to join in '84 when guitarist Steve Holland left the band. As of now, Holland is the only original member still alive, but is not in the band. Even when original vocalist Danny Joe Brown retired in 1995 and died in 2005, his replacement Phil McCormack died last year. I saw the original lineup in Savannah in 1982, put on a great show then and now.

Bobby Ingram the guitarist since 1987 owns the name of the band and plays for what 3 guitarist use to perform, he's excellent. The new singer that replaced Phil last year, is actually much better.

Here's the band in Germany three weeks before they appeared at the Savannah Center.

Molly Hatchet-Dreams I ll Never See Live in Torgau December 20/2019 - YouTube

I saw the Yardbirds here in 2017 and only the original drummer Jim McCarty is in the lineup, it's good to hear the songs even if it's by a glorified tribute band but by a good group of musicians. Here's a live video from 2017. The original singer Keith Relf died in '76 by accident, the guitarist were Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, don't expect to see those guys anything soon playing. We have to take what we can get.

DONNA SUMMER Tiburon Country Club

A bit of info about Donna Summer, apparently Disco paid very well:

Donna Summer died in 2012 from lung cancer, although she only smoked in her younger years, she contributes the cancer to inhaling toxic fumes during 9/11 in NYC. She bought home in 2007 on North Manasota Key off Venice (sometimes called Englewood). She also had a 25 acre home in Brentwood, Tennesse and a home on Shelter Island off Long Island, NY. North Manasota Key is very exclusive and gated community. The home was built in 1950 was once owned by Mel Tillis, it was 4 bedroom 4 bath, 3786 square feet on 1.1 acres with 200' of Gulf frontage with a boat house, dock and pool. After Donna Summer's death, the home went on the market for $3.2 million and sold in 2013 in 71 days for $2.85 million. The buyer was Detlev von Platen, the president and chief executive officer of Porsche Cars North America. Others with homes on Manasota Key are Tim McGraw, Bobby Vinton and Martina Navratilova.



In 2000 Donna bought a condo in the gated community of Bolero in Naples. She owned both the condo and the above waterfront home.



Donna died at age 63 and is buried at Hapeth Memorial Gardens in Nashville.



Donna's home in Brentwood, Tennessee. During renovations in 1999 the home burned down, and was rebuilt new.



Donna's Shelton Island, NY home she bought in 1997 on 2.2 acres.



Shelter Island is near the east end of Long Island

This has been mentioned many times on TOTV, last time in detail was when he appeared last year at Brownwood Theater for the premier of his movie The Fanatic.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you were a big Donna Summer fan. I find that interesting because for me and all my rocker friends, and rockers around the country, disco was public enemy #1.

Not criticizing your taste of course (especially not 40 years after the fact). It's just that you're the first person I know of that liked rock music AND disco from our generation.
