For many of us old timers, the Allman Brothers were special. Dickey Betts was key to their sound and success, and one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

I loved how they could turn a 3 minute tune into 15 minutes by giving everyone on stage a two minute solo!

All you need to know about how hard life is can be gleaned from the facts that John Bonham died, Duane Allman got killed in a motorcycle accident and half of Lynyrd Skynyrd got killed in a plane crash while Molly Hatchett flew all over the place but still all made it to their 50s and 60s.

I read an interesting story a few months ago in the WSJ about the relationship between the Allman Brothers, in particular Gregg, and Jimmy Carter.

Wasn't Gregg and Duane actually from Nashville? I believe I have read that they went to high school at Mt. Juliet, or maybe Hendersonville, somewhere around Nashville anyway.
