Thanks again for recommending the biography. It 'almost' made me feel competent to discuss guitars and such with the other regulars (at least now I can look up all the various models discussed here from time to time). It did remove a lot of my ignorance about the whole Muscle Shoals phenomenon. And about Gregg Allman's role in things.

But the highlight for me was learning that Bill Graham insisted on having the ABB play the very last concert in the Fillmore East. That right there about says it all, IMHO.

Super pic. Thank you again for the weekly sunshine. Wail on!

My Mom had a dress made out of that material...

You know, I remember cruising the Goodwill stores looking for hippie clothes.. I'll bet that's what I have in common with DA. That, and loving that nasty honk he milked out of a Les Paul.

Wail on, keeper of the Skydog pics.

I don't know where you find these pictures but they make not only my day, they make my whole week. I almost lost it last week because your post was much later than usual. Thanks for your wonderful weekly walk down memory lane!

Great pic, thanks!

Like Cindy (above), I set my week's clock by when I get to see another great picture of Duane.

Heartfelt thanks, mama.

More importantly, I pulled out my copy of "Hot 'Lanta" 3 days ago and listed to Duane's solo, with my jaw on the floor -- absolutely mystical.

The pressure!

I'm glad you enjoyed the book, Carl. I think it had its pluses and minuses.

Donnah, do you need my snail address to send that book ??

pressure indeed, you love it.

On the anniversary of his death, Wail on Duane. The musical void you left, can only be partially filled with what you left behind. It wasn't enough, but it will have to do. RIP.
