OK, I admit I love my job, especially during Spring Break.  Whether it be Florida State, Georgia, or Alabama, these girls came to party.  We truly appreciate those that elect to spend their time with us at Murphy’s.  We love our waitstaff, Michael, Sam, and Roman. They kept the fun flowing, our Solid Gold Line Dancers kept the crowd entertained, our locals turned out in force,  and the girls from Florida State and Georgia made this DJ feel young again (until I had to go home and take a  nap).  Photos of the fun are posted and available for viewing and or downloading from our photo page.

Need directions for a boot stompin’, guitar pickin’ good time?  Take a right on THOMAS ROAD.  This band owned the stage at Duck’s Night Life.  Dwayne Porter put the fun and excitement back into St Patrick’s Day when he brought these guys in early.  Whether it be songs by George Straight, Toby Keith, Alan Jackson or Waylon, these guys rock the country.  THOMAS ROAD, definitely an ODMafia favorite.  Photos can be found HERE.

When Ray, Rubow, & Beasley get together it’s a huge party and everyone is invited.  When you have this trio, lookout!  It is definitely a triple threat!!!  Photos are posted from Friday and Saturday and can be found on our PHOTO page.

Last night two photographers were working at the newly renovated CAPTAIN ARCHIE’S.  DAN and our lovely freelance photographer MELISSA HINSON stayed busy trying to capture the fun on film. One of the best bands in this area, THE TIM ELLIOTT BAND was performing their rockin – soul Country.  Photos are in two albums.  Melissa;s are marked with her initials MH and all can be found by visiting our photo page.

It was the Grand-Reopening of CAPTAIN ARCHIE’S which has truly been transformed.  The work done is amazing.  If it wasn’t for the beautiful waitstaff and loyal locals you would not recognize the place.  No band is better to kick off a party than the TIM ELLIOTT BAND.  These guys put the rock and roll into country soul and are definitely one ODMafia’s top three bands.  BILLY RIGGS, you done good!  PHOTOS are posted and can be found on our PHOTO page.

Five or six days ago I was at Duck’s Night Life (I know that’s not a big surprise).  Dwayne always makes time to talk with his customers and I took advantage of his availability. I gave Dwayne one of my Veterans Welcome Home and Resource Center business cards. Dwayne asked what I needed. I explained that we needed lots of things but the only thing I was asking that day is that he visit our website to learn about us. Dwayne said he would.

A few days passed and I was back at Duck’s. Dwayne approached me and stated that he had been to our website and wanted to know how he and Robin could help. I rattled off several items that we needed, things that would not be terribly expensive. Dwanye said he wanted to do more.

Sunday February 27, Scott Dulebohn and I met with Robin and Dwayne. Both expressed their desire to help our homeless Veterans. Dwayne stated that he was sure with the help of his loyal customer base that Duck’s Night Life could sponsor one of our “Tiny Homes”. Dwayne stated he didn’t want to make a big deal of his pledge. Hey, it is a big deal and I wanted to let everyone in the surrounding area know the type of true American Patriots we have owning and managing Duck’s Night Life.

We are truly blessed by having Robin, Dwayne, and Paul George in our great city. They are an asset to our community. I am proud to have them as friends.
