November, 2002 Fan of the Month: Jeff Kuykendall
Congratulations, you've won a signed Southside Johnny poster!

I was in College at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas when I first heard Southside Johnny and the Jukes. I was browsing the LP's at Record Town in the South Plains Mall when they started playing an album. I continued to flip through albums when the music started making an impression and by the time "Take It Inside" off the Hearts of Stone album started to play I HAD to have it! The employees in their infinite wisdom did not have any in stock as they were playing a promo. I had to wait two weeks for my order to come in. I immediately acquired all the previously released albums and have been a fan ever since. 

Two years later in St. Louis Missouri, my wife saw that Southside was to play a Labor Day concert in Downtown St. Louis at a venue that I have long since forgotten the name of. Since this was a last minute thing, I figured that all the good seats would be gone but to my surprise (or the lack of taste of the St. Louis inhabitants) the show was far from sold out. I and my wife sat in the third row and rocked all night long to my favorite band. As a side note, the back up was John Cougar (now Mellencamp) so the show was a memorable one. I still enjoy Johnny Lyon's music and am thrilled to come to this web site and see that I do not have several albums (now CD's). 

Please inform Mr. Lyon that his music has and continues to bring me pleasure and I cannot wait until he travels through the wonderful state of Colorado. I saw that he was in Denver recently but previous conflicts necessitated that I miss that show. 

Thanks,
Jeff Kuykendall
