Friday Is Always Coming In Athens! Welcome Classic City Bonding

About......

"It's Friday In Athens!!!"

"It's Friday In Athens!!!" began March 15, 2006 inspired by the love of Old School Music played by local bands such as"The Sounds of Motown", "The Common Peoples Band" and "Splitz." Coming your way every Friday, an individual selection of times greatest soul and R&B artists guaranteed to start your weekend with a song in your head and a smile that lasts all day. The first artist to debut our web space was Brenton Wood. "The Oogum Boogum Song" was one that had been celebrated in our offices every Friday for more than a year. Since then, our visitors have grown in great numbers daily. We all love good tunes, enjoy hearing those blasts from the past, and re-living the forgotten hits. A big THANK YOU goes out for your support and to the sponsors of

"It's Friday In Athens!!!"

Be sure to tell a friend about www.fridayinathens.com

and remember as Brenton says,

"Go on wich yo bad self!"

Thank you and Oogum Boogum,

from It's Friday In Athens!!!

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT...

Moonchild Diva in Motown - found the site by looking for Billy Stewart! I think you answered my question...who played bass on Billy's recordings? SO THANK YOU for clearing up the mystery!

Billy Stewart , alright, one of my favorites. Also, Jerry Butler, Major Lance, Willy Tee....

Your friend, Dirk H.

Thanks for Billy Stewart Larry - You have made

my day! Betsy K.

I look forward to Friday's email. This is great.

Wow! From your personal E-Mail account. I forward "Its Friday in Athens!!!" on to my friends often. The folks here at work are trying to figure me out. Their 56 year old C.E.O. sits in his office every Friday morning booming out R&B. Though it works for me, its not the type of behavior they expect from someone in my position. BLUES BANKER!

Thanks for Joe T. Luv'd it! Roy Head and the Traits?

Hope you had a good Turkey Day. T. Turgeon

I keep waiting for Jackie Wilson and Billy Stewart....I have

decided that like me, you have an older brother or sister

who had you listening to this music as a kid.

Hope all is well your way.

Betsy K.

How about a little Joe Tex? T. Turgeon

Thanks, "I LOVE IT! Makes my day! M.N.
