Ah man, another great one gone.  Thanks for the great Southern Rock, D.B.  Rest in peace.

    I just KNEW Brian would be on this. I’m a huge ABB fan but not so much for Dickey Betts. I’ll give it to him…he was there from the beginning. In Memory of Elizabeth Reed is classic but I don’t care if I never hear Ramblin’ Man ever again. I’ve seen ABB with Dickey. Sadly, not with Duane. Brian probably did.

    Not trying to be a dick…I just think Dickey was more of a complimentary part. Sill, it’s sad. RIP Dickey.

    I never get to see the Allman's during that great period when Duane was still alive.  Sure wish I had though!
