Gregg looked terrible not long ago in the studio but then looked okay during a show that summer. Make up does wonders I guess. He's special at B3.

RIP Butch

Not sure if any of you have read Gregg's book or Galadrielle's, but they are both pretty good reads.

My wife bought it for me years ago, but I've never just sat down and read it. Partly because I don't want to feel like I'm reading history, I like to think it's still happening.

Not a day goes by where I don't listen to something ABB put out. A day without hearing that crew is like a day without sunshine.

I have no idea if true or not.

From the mouth of a friend of Duane Trucks.

Butch said he would never live in a country that elected Trump. Most close to him thought he would leave the country. He has a house in France.

Again, no idea if true or not but this is a comment from a legit friend of Duane's.

Then it seems like the logical choice is move to said house in France

Financial problems in old age with alcoholism is more likely cause of suicide. But I think it's cool that you are friends with someone who is a friend of the brother of one of the drummers from the Allman Brothers Band.
