  1. Travis Wammack is a story in himself.He was occasionally at American, more often in Muscle Shoals and he toured on the same bill as Bobby Wood back in 1964 when Bobby was a teen idol and riding a hit written by Stan Kesler(American's last great sound engineer)"If I'm A Fool''. Wammack did a couple of instrumentals under his own name at American and played lead on a session for Oscar Toney Jr. cut there under Papa Don's supervision in 1967.Always an interesting player.
