from page 82 of Willie Moseley's THE ATLANTA RHYTHM SECTION: THE AUTHORIZED HISTORY:

[Guitarist Marvin] Taylor also recalled a SOUND OF THE SOUTH showcase in July at Richards that he attended with members of the A.R.S.

"Me and Robert Nix and Dean Daughtry were at Studio One hanging out," Taylor remembered,"and somebody said that Al Kooper was having a record party at Richards. We kind of said, 'Well, big deal.'  There was some band Al brought in from California called ELIJAH, and MOSE JONES, and LYNYRD SKYNYRD. We were kind of  'Been there, heard that."

"Then we were told that the original Old Hickory House [barbecue restaurant] was catering, and we were off to Richards quick! We got three seats right down by the stage and stuffed our faces with barbecue. ELIJAH was really good; they were like SANTANA with horns. When SKYNYRD came on, they were amazing; maybe the best I ever heard. Ronnie [Van Zant] had on a t-shirt that said, 'Sweet Home Alabama'; I'm from Alabama but didn't know where Sweet Home was. It was an incredible show. When MOSE JONES played, Al Kooper jammed with them." https://rockpilgrimage.blogspot.com/
