Duane Allman

Passed 40 years ago today. Hard to believe.

Not sure any rocker ever got the slide down like he did.

Rest in peace, eat a peach.

I still get out the old albums and play them loud. He was one of a kind.

I heard the Allman Brothers in the summer of 1971 at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago. Twenty years old, hot babe at my side. Best concert I ever attended. Got my draft notice shortly thereafter. I spent many a night in the barracks at Fort Polk reliving that concert.

Hard to believe it's been 40 years. Duane was a unique talent. He could work a one note vamp like no on else.
Check out the video of the The ABB playing their signature tune. Dicky Betts was no slouch either.

In my opinion, Duane Allman and Boz Scaggs' version of "Loan Me a Dime" is one of the finest songs ever done in the history of the whole wide world forever and ever.

Derek and The Dominoes were no slouches either.

Just about everything Brother Duane put his hand on turned to gold.

Only 24 years old when he died. I'm pretty sure Amy Winehouse will be long forgotten before Duane Allman is.

Considering one would have to remember in order to forget, I very much doubt that is true.

I heard Ramblin' Man on our local classic rock station on my drive in to the office today and the DJ said that was apparently one of the songs played 40 years ago today at his funeral by an incredible "band" of guests that had assembled to attend the service. Sad, yet amazing.

[Blue in the Face]

I love Allman's playing on Wilson Pickett's version of Hey Jude.

The depth of soul and feeling expressed on this track is unsurpassed. My absolute favorite.

The Layla back and forth is stuff that nearly defies discription.

I still have a professional-quality black and white photo of Dickey Betts playing slide guitar when the Allman Brothers came to CIS in the '70s. Classic concert. CIS has never smelled the same lol.
