Greg Allman died today. The Allman Brothers were a big part of the soundtrack of my youth. They were lumped in with the "Southern Rock" movement, they were anything but. Skydog and the boys were much more than that.

The Bros played the Beacom Theater every March. 10-15 shows in a row, Peakin' at the Beacon.

2014 was the last year and I could not be there. It was a true bucket list item for me. But, Greg was sick for three shows, and they rescheduled them for October. Two buddies and I paid the scalpers, bought plane tix and spent four great nights in NYC. We saw them on the 24th and the 28th. The Allman Brothers last show.

So, I am sitting here tonight with a Bourbon on the porch listening to recordings of both shows.

Good music. Good friends. Good memories.
