    1. Other members of South were Ed Labunsky, jingle mogul, famous for baseball hotdogs apple pie and chevrolet, this bud's for you, limon is the secret of sprite, to mention a few. Ed was killed in a car crash soon after the release of South album. Tragic and heartbreaking. I think the album is available on Lonnie Mack's website, though maybe not with Labunsky's recordings. Also, sadly missed, Stan Szelest, wild man on the keyboard. Loved this band. Miss the T Bone. I also remember Harvey Brooks played with them.
