Some of our favorite anecdotes from our
involvement in Macon's music history.
Throughout the 1970's, Jones Cork attorneys were frequently included
on the guest list for the Capricorn Records Annual Barbeque &
Summer Games, initially held at Phil Walden's lake home, and later at
(the former) Lakeside Park in Macon near Jeffersonville Road. Other
notable guests included members of the Allman Brothers Band, Cher,
Wet Willie, Georgia's Governor and soon-to-be President of the United
States Jimmy Carter, Andy Warhol, and Don King, among others.
Charlie Cork, Jr., as counsel for Walden Artists & Promotions, assisted
with a real estate transaction involving Percy Sledge, and was later
fortunate enough to have attended a small, private performance by
Percy Sledge at Phil Walden's home.
