The best thing to come out of Macon since the cannons that shot Yankees.
He will be sorely missed.

Got to see them new years eve 1991 in Macon coliseum . They did a killer 45 minute set. And they kept going. And going. AND going. Playing everything and anything; blues, rock, Marshall Tucker tunes, BB King, Skynyrd tunes- it was a smorgasboard of tunes.
They blew everyone away, me included.
Think we got out of there around 3:15 am-concert started around 830pm.
Homefolks playing music for homefolks. Not fancy, just a good time. A really good time.

Their hits were epic.
The less played music they made was real deal GOOD stuff.

Their debut album got serious play around our house when it came out in 1969. Imagine a 5 year old Alf jamming out to this music
You can hear some serious blues influences in this masterpiece.

I was lucky to catch The Allman's one time and that was back in the 90's.
Till I read his obit, I had no idea that he was born in West Palm in 1943 at that same hospital that my twin son and daughter arrived.
Unfortunately at the age of 74....not many members of the popular groups that I listened too are still around.
Back in the mid 2020's....I told my boys that I wanted us to see two groups that I had never seen before they or I passed.
Tom Petty and Johnny Winter. Got to seen them both.

We all were fortunate to have lived to see these great bands. I got to see the ABB six or seven times myself.....obviously my favorite band. Johnny and Edgar Winter were not too shabby either.

That's my favorite version of Melissa - acoustic, with Dickie and Warren Haynes side by side. The last minute of this is a fantastic guitar duet featuring the two of them playing off each other. Content to play in Dickie's shadow, Warren was one of the great players in his own right, and has done some fantastic work in the years since.

Many of the bands I wanted to see, I was able to see multiple times. This band, I am sorry to say, I only saw once. Sat at a 4 top at the Chicago theater with a big wig from the Chicago Dem party. We laughed all night long discussing all the twinkies in Chicago politics at the time. And, yes Barack Obama's name did come up.
So did Rahm, and "Big Jim" Thompson. He was surprised I knew about Thompson. Not that it was a secret, just that it was in the early 2000's. A close family friend was a personal body guard for Jim's wife. She regularly hit on him.

What once was, is no more.
Galadriel said it best, I think:
The world is changed.
I feel it in the water.
I feel it in the earth.
I smell it in the air.
Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it.

Allman Brothers (with Duane)
Johnny Winter And with Rick Derringer, Edgar and some other really good guitar player, can't remember his name...
First balcony, 3rd row, dead center... $15.00 per ticket at the door.
