   About Larry Byrom
I was born in Huntsville, Alabama in 1948 and later my family moved to South Bend, Indiana where I spent a number of years. As a child I grew up playing the trumpet, piano and the guitar. Eventually, I settled in a love affair with the guitar building my skills with slide, acoustic and electric guitar. In the 60's I packed up and went to California in search of stardom. I joined Steppenwolf, replacing Michael Monarch on lead guitar in 1969. I was with Steppenwolf from 1969 through 1972. My song credits include "Hey Lawdy Mama", "Who Needs Ya", "Renegade", "Draft Resister", "Ball Crusher", "Fat Jack", "Fag", Foggy Mental Breakdown", "Earschplittenloudenboomer", "Suicide" and "Hippo Stomp" featured on the albums, "Monster, Steppenwolf Live and Steppenwolf 7. In the years following Steppenwolf and my band Ratchell, I worked in Muscle Shoals, Alabama recording in the studios there for several years, then moved back out to Los Angeles creating soundtracks for movies. Then, while working on a project with a friend of mine, he described the music action taking place in Nashville and I decided to move there and get involved. During my time in Nashville I worked with music greats, logging thousands of music recording credits and earned a place on the "A List" as a session guitarist and songwriter roster. Also during my years in Nashville, I was honored to be invited on tour with great performers such as Neil Young, Steve Winwood and Peter Frampton. Further, I was awarded BMI's writing, "Citation of Achievement" for the Tanya Tucker song, "Feel Right" and included as a "Music Achiever", with the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. Wikipedia has recognized me as a "Distinguised Alabamian" and AL.com as a "Famous Alabamian". Now I am living in MUSCLE SHOALS, ALABAMA and working into the next phase of my music career of finding and producing artists from this hotbed of talent this area is known for. IN ADDITION, I HAVE JUST BEEN AWARDED the prestigious "STUDIO MUSICIAN'S AWARD" for acknowledgement of my success as a studio musician from the ALABAMA MUSIC HALL OF FAME. I am honored to be chosen for such an award.  (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

MUSIC for MEDS

______________________________

One of the largest, single day Rock n' Roll parties in the valley's history is going to take place on June 7th at The Crossroads Music Hall, 115 Clinton Ave. E., in downtown Huntsville. "MUSIC 4 MEDS" is the "Concert to Benefit The Community Free Clinic". Doors open at 1:30PM, and music begins at 2:00PM, and will continue nonstop until the wee hours.

A minimum donation of $10.00 is requested.

I imagine we all wish we were wealthy enough to write a huge check to solve the problems that arise, but for most of us, the best we can do is pitch in a little, and try to get the job done. If you can afford to show up on June 7th and donate a few bucks, we promise to play our hearts out for you and make it worth your while.



Plan on coming out and being a part of this celebration. Together we can do a lot to help our community, and have a great time doing it! Hope to see you there!

Thanks so much for your help and support. - Sonny Edwards

If you have time we would really appreciate it if you could answer a couple of questions for Dawson's project. Dawson ask...What do you think is the coolest thing you have ever got to do as a musician? and.. What do you feel is your greatest achievement in any area of your life?
Thanks!
From Dawson Brown and his Mama.
