DESCRIPTION:
Twinkle Schascle Yochim sings SUMMERTIME just like her father taught her, @ The 5 O'Clock Club, Sarasota, Florida, in 2005. Buddy Yochim, Twinkle's father, begins the song, and Dickey Betts on guitar takes it with Twinkle on vocals. Gregg Voorhees on bass and Kenny Crawley on drums. Saxophonist unknown. Dickey asked Twinkle and Kenny to join his band, GREAT SOUTHERN, after the night's performance. Dickey said that Twinkle reminded him of Bonnie Bramlett in the old days. The 5 O'Clock Club is also where Buddy and Dickey were together the night that Duane Allman got killed in a motorcycle crash up in Macon, Georgia in 1971. Buddy took the phone call and told Dickey about Duane. "You sh*ttin' me?!" Dickey exclaimed. Dickey left speechless heading out to Hiway 41. Somebody else said that Dickey slumped down by the front door. "I didn't see him for three weeks, "Buddy said. "I take that back-- I saw him at the funeral." They played STATESBORO BLUES. That was in The NEW YORK TIMES. Dickey and Buddy also composed a song together, "THE HEAT IS ON," for the Allman Brothers Band LP "BROTHERS OF THE ROAD" (1981). Carson Daly even exclaimed, "TWINKLE! My God in Heaven!" when she sang with GREAT SOUTHERN on NBC in 2005 with Duane Betts, Mke Kach, Pedro Arevelo and Frankie Lombardi.
