    Man, another one.

    LAME! Been an ABB for life. At least I got to see him live 6 times. I knew he had been really sick a few months ago. Easily an all time great. Dickey is still hanging in there but even he is getting pretty feeble. That lifestyle is bound to take its toll after a while. Jaimoe is still around too.

    And yet, somehow, Keith Richards is still around! Loved the Allman Brothers.

    While not a very big ABB fan myself (I guess I just missed the time or culture, whatever), I could still easily see the talent and artistry. And the few songs I know were very good.

    We can't live forever. But it still sucks to see a bright light fade away.

    Boo. I figured this was coming. Saw the ABB a couple times in the '90s.

    Was watching a PBS Nitty Gritty Dirt Band 50th Anniversary concert last night and Jackson Brown joined the group to perform the incredible "These Days" which he wrote at 16 and I remembered the ABB did a very tasteful cover of that tune in the 70's with great harmonies.
