OK....a C# over here.......

Another Wednesday and another wonderful picture. Thank you again. has anyone read that Gregg Allman article that was in Rolling Stone? I heard he talked a lot about Duane. if you all know anything.
Don't Keep Me Wondering

There's one I haven't seen before...what a gem. That's how I remember him in my mind's eye, and so clear the pic is under the low lighting. I can almost hear Liz Reed. Thank you; where do you keep finding "new" ones?

Must be early in the show. No sweat, no steam coming off the top of his head. Just a slide on the finger and the blur for a hand. You are the man, Wail on.

Nice!!!!! Lucky fan indeed.And lucky us that Donnah keeps on keeping on. Thank you to the fan and thank you to Donnah (as usual).

Baron, I understand that Bbro wasn't too happy with RS on that article you are refering to. He had some not so kind words about RS with a radio interviewer after it came out. I haven't seen it but something about some quotes about his children. I think that issue had the Jonas Brothers on the cover. Let's you know how low RS has fallen. Bbro was not a happy camper! Maybe somebody else could enlighten us, anyone?

And Donnah, still waiting to see some shots of the "mancave".

Wail on, Skydog!

My gosh, I'm late! Been to the State Fair, see, and that's my excuse.
Yep, very lucky fan!
And lucky Donnah for coming up with these wonderful pics every week.
And lucky us!

July 2009 issue on Rolling Stone..DUFUS RS! Gregg Allman interview title: The last redneck hippy soulman.

I dont blame Gregg for not liking it! I havent read it yet, but the title is insulting. A redneck is usually a ignorant, beer guzzling, ,dumbass Well, Gregg might have been some of that in the past; but he was never a dumbass. A pretty articulate man with a white soul blues voice to die for! You dont have to like him to appreciate his voice, talent and of course his admirable job of keeping ABB together all these years. And finally of course beating the demons that almost killed him multiple times.

course me, opinionated as ever! lol As I have stated before without the white-hot talent of BOTH the Allman Brothers we wouldnt be havin our Wed. Duane celebration!

Thanks as always Donnah, for hosting this weekly shindig!

Wail on skydoggies, and spin some ABB this weekend!

I quit reading Rolling Stone a long time back. Got tired of all the Newest Teen Sensations, the Hottest Porn Star Since Jenna Jameson, the Look What Bush Has Done to Us Now and Look How Funny and Clever I Am for Writing Like a Smart-Ass articles.
Yeah, I haven't read the article in question, but if they called Gregg a redneck, no wonder he didn't like it. In some circles redneck is no longer much of an insult and in a few, almost a badge of honor, but not to people of Gregg's generation. Not cool.

Yes I also quit reading RS awhile ago. But heard there was an article on Gregg

Rolling Stone's elitist attitude toward the band has surfaced often over the years (the infamous Grover Lewis article from 1971 among the most heinous).

Yeah, I read Grover Lewis's (Grover?! Grover!) article somewhere. Not very flattering, and I'll wager there would have been a full-fledged line around the block to punch him out. How obnoxious.
RS has a snide, elitist attitude toward just about anything that isn't a flavor-of-the-week. You wait, in a year or so the Jonas Brothers will go from being their cover boys to the butt of their unfunny jokes.

You'd think the A-holes at Rolling Stone would show more respect after Duane was voted as the 2nd greatest guitarist of all time in their very own rag. Of course he was voted #2 by his peers and not the biased pricks at Rolling Stone. (should be #1 in my book though)

Jimi Hendrix was number one, right? A friend of mine who knows guitars tells me Hendrix's thing was mostly tricks, bells and whistles, and that's the only reason he got number one.

And Duane could make his guitar sound like bells, whistles, flutes, birds, choo-choo trains & what have you without any fancy tricks or gadgets.

No offense to Jimi. He was a great guitarist. But nobody can hold a candle to Duane!!

No offense to Jimi either, but he also wasn't half as cute. :)

Definitely agree with that too Starla! :)

We have that Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock cd & if I recall correctly, he keeps going on & on & apologizing for his band for whatever reasons. I can't quite remember exactly what he's saying but I couldn't imagine Duane ever doing that. I heard him say something to "wet willie" (Dickey) about spitting out his chewing gum once when they were about to perform Blue Sky, but that's about it. :)

lol, Wet Willie and chewing gum! That's pretty funny.
Repeated apologies do not make it seem as if somebody is confident in their ability to do what they're going to do. In other words: if you keep telling hte audience, essentially, that you're not that good, they'll end up believing it.

Whenever we play that ABB live at Stonybrook cd where in between songs Duane says "somebody turn the God Damn monitor...who's doin' this?" if my 12 year old daughter Kristina is present we have a little giggle together.

:) It's definite giggle-material. It also reminds me so much of that old radio blooper where the sportscaster is boredly reading down the list of scores and suddenly thinks he's been cut off the air/his microphone pulled out. He says "Hey. Hey you. You pulled out my AC power! You! In the brown suit! We're on the air! YOU PULLED OUT MY AC YOU ???!" Now put the damn thing back in!" Dustin and I disagree over what he called the hapless brown-suited guy: I think he said "damn fool" but Dustin thinks he said "baboon." Anyway, guy was completely out of control, and of course, on the air all along.

Thanks Donnah..
