I've been looking all over the Internet for the music schedule for this weekend's Sam Phillips Music Celebration in Florence, AL. It is from 6 to 11 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 16, 2010, in downtown Florence. The headliner is rockabilly piano man Jason D. Williams.
Here's the lineup, according to a source at WQLT radio:
6 p.m. -- Sonny Burgess and the Pacers.
7 p.m. -- Adam Jones of The Levees and his band.
8 p.m. -- James LeBlanc, Dylan LeBlanc, Gary Nichols, and Angela Hacker performing as "The Heartbeat of Muscle Shoals Sound."
9 p.m. -- Theodis Ealey.
10 p.m. -- Jason D. Williams.
The last time I saw Jason D. Williams, I laughed so hard that my cheeks hurt for the first 15 minutes of his show. I don't know how someone can be so musically talented and so funny at the same time. Don't miss him.

Huntsville, Alabama, restaurant and night club enthusiasts may or may not have noticed the obituary in The Huntsville Times on Wednesday for Alexander Thomas James DeLuca III. His nickname -- Duke -- may have jogged some memories, though.
I wrote a weekly column about nightlife and restaurants in Huntsville for 30 years, and the name Duke DeLuca was commonly mentioned during the first decade. He was a popular proprietor of nightspots -- the one that sticks in mind is Cat & Mouse Club -- although he left town in the 1970s or '80s. Few people today can remember just what his interests were.
His name is among the Hall of Fame for Huntsville nightlife: Jerriel Stephens and his late brother, Dennis Stephens, as well as their father, simply known as Steve; Dewey Brazelton; Ken Moss; Pat Patton; Leon Rucker; Mark Komara; and Ron Jeffreys; to name a few. We'll add more to the list as time goes on.
Let's hope this blog jogs some memories and brings more names to add to the list.
