Great Shot -- Thanks -- I've never scene a shot of Dickie that young -- look how sensitive that boy is.

Paco..when I was 14 in Bradenton, there was a guy
I met (I had a crush on his sisters) who was buddies
with Dickey..They grew up together.

His name was Mike and he had a red SG (or it could have been a junior)..the first Gibson I ever handled.

The reason I brought all THAT up is that it is kind of weird..Dickey would (is) have been a huge phenom in his own right....even without the ABB.
Not many kids crawled out of the Manatee woods with a 'born with' talent like that..It must have been a real thrill for Duane.

Any idea what venue they are playing?

Owen: many consider Betts on of the great composers of our time; as Lucinda Williams might put it. "2 cool 2 be Forgotten." Thanks for the great story.
