Article on BBC website about Sharleen Spiteri making an album with Spooner Oldham at Muscle Shoals. I’ve got 2 related stories: 1. About 10 years ago we visited the Eden Project on a very wet day. Waiting for the bus to go back to the car park I chatted to the American couple waiting with us. I asked them where they were from and they insisted I wouldn’t have heard of the place. It was Muscle Shoals and they had lived there about 25 years. They had no idea of its musical connections!!!! 2. Went to see Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham in Bristol. My partner went outside for a smoke and met Mrs Oldham doing the same thing. Had a long conversation. Mrs Oldham is a chiropractor and says she spends all her time telling Spooner to sit up straight. Anyone else got any pointless stories related to Muscle Shoals?
