FULL CIRCLE: Fifty years ago I was in the Tuscaloosa High School band. A really bad French horn player. This photo was taken during my sophomore year.  While I wasn’t much of a musician, the band experience provided me with many life lessons that would help me in the decades to follow. It was a wonderful experience. This evening, I will have the honor of directing the University of Alabama Million Dollar Band in the National Anthem before the Alabama/LSU game at Bryant-Denny Stadium. I marched on that field during my THS days (Denny Stadium was our home field)… I never dreamed I would be on the big ladder in front of the Million Dollar Band one day. But tonight it happens…
