Just like Elvis McPresley didn't hail from Memphis, neither did the Memphis Gators. As a matter of fact, the band are actually fae Douglas.Memphis Gators cropped up on the local scene in the late 80's, after I departed, so I don't know much about them. If anyone can fill in a few background details on the band, the comments section is all yours.
One thing I did find out on an earlier Retro item was that band member, Watty, mentioned the Memphis Gators were the last band to play at the Cafe Club. Their equipment was still in the building when it was ablaze, but as luck would have it, it was all locked away in a storeroom, the only place in the entire pub the fire didn't reach, and so despite the pub ending up gutted, the band's instruments remained intact!
It looks like the picture location might be the Sidlaw Everglades!
