Quite a dude. I like this quote in a letter from Tito to Stalin:

“Stop sending people to kill me. We’ve already captured five of them, one of them with a bomb and another with a rifle. [...] If you don’t stop sending killers, I’ll send one to Moscow, and I won’t have to send a second.”

One of my favorites, with NRPS, Poco, Airplane, and the Dead.

[Verginius Rufus]

Maybe he was named for Vice President Thomas Marshall (VP under Woodrow Wilson), famous for saying that “what this country needs is a good five-cent cigar.”

Great band. Their album, “Where We All Belong,” is a classic. I wore it out on my turntable back in the mid 1970s.

[God luvs America]

They were a regular every summer at the Central Park Music Festival

I thought Tito was with The Jackson Five.

When I got a pair of Vandersteens, the first thing I played was Marshall Tucker. Their sound is amazing

There’s Marshall Tucker riding a rainbow searching for a pot of gold.
Well they can take the highway, baby, and they can take all they can hold.
The Outlaws down in Tampa town it’s a mighty fine place to be.
They got green grass and they got high tides and sure looks good to me.

Take the highway...

Yep, I think I saw MT, CDB and Outlaws at the Tampa Fairgrounds back in the 1970s.

Here is something to remember:

Outlaws Green Grass and High Tides 23 min.
