Yup, go to www.southernboysband.com then go to the FAMECAST page, and there are some links to download updates for your browser. If you are using an older version of Internet explorer it causes problems..

After days like this one, sometimes I get really discouraged,, then you see something like this and I really wanted to share it with you..

Comment: [Hide] Well, I have had a time with this voting thing and so have some of my friends. I really hope it has'nt cost ya'll alot of votes. I am truly amazed at the humbleness you all display at all times. You (the band) have no idea of how truly talented you are. You have a God given gift and you should run with it. As for Bruce Wall, words cannot explain what an extraordinary person he is and we are all so very fortunate to have him in our lives. He has done everything possible for all of us and has'nt asked for recognition for anything! There have been people "we all" have come to know that have tried to take credit for all that Bruce has done. For the people reading this, Bruce Wall is the Hottie in all black in this Dixie Dreamin' video playing guitar along with the Southern Boys at the Jam for George concert in November 2007. He was George McCorkle's (original Marshall Tucker Band) best friend. He is very talented in all that he does whether it be web design, web hosting or music . He is now the man we all look to for everything and love with all our hearts. Sorry Bruce...you have inherited all of us until the end, we love you! Please vote for these guys, they deserve all that is good because their hearts are truly in what they love to do...play music!!! George would be so very proud of you all, especially you Justin McCorkle! His dream has come true! LOVE YA'LL WITH ALL THAT IS IN ME!!!!!

And This:

Hello Bruce,

You are doing an AWESOME job with the boy’s website! It looks great! I love the opening page!

The picture with Jam for George banner above the boy’s heads really speaks volumes for all of us who knew and loved George. It is a fitting tribute to the man behind the band! He is the inspiration for the Southern Boys Band! My boys loved George and really miss talking with him and getting his world of wisdom and advice. They quote him on a regular basis, anytime they are together playing music! Thanks to George they now have a wonderful brother and friend in you and you are doing an awesome job! Thank you so very much! You are greatly loved and appreciated by all the boys and our family! They value and rely on your expertise and advice!

Love ya ,

Momma Bailey (Pat)

Then I remember why I put so many hours into all this for free. Because, of folks like them, and folks like you. It makes it all worth it.
