This blog spot is the home to my ramblings. I am a free lance writer. Most of my work goes on Associated Content. Sometimes I write what is on my mind, sometimes I plug some of my writing, and sometimes a combination of the two. So, sit back read, enjoy, and we will see where it goes.
Over the years my Mom became a fan of Eric Clapton. My taste of music was a strong influence on my Mother's taste. She didn't like everything I enjoyed but their was common ground.
"Motherless Child"
She saw Eric Clapton once with me and once with my Dad. She got to see him in Jacksonville with Derek Trucks.... "Why does Love have to Feel so Bad"
My Mom was impressed by Derek..
"Crow Jane"
But it was the Blues side my Mom really likes...
"Old Love"
Thanks for visiting I will be back tomorrow with a post for D!
Well tonight was the last show by The Allman Brothers Band. I shared the news during the A to Z Challenge in this post. Also the post has more music!
How do you celebrate an ending? By looking back and celebrating what is now a legacy.
The band had "Dreams"even back in 1969..
Now the band is going "Into the Mystic" covering Van Morrison on one of their final shows 10/25/2014...
Even now it is hard to find a band that has a better guitar attack than Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes. Below is "Blue Sky" performed in Germany in 1991.
I am hoping I am finding different songs to say farewell.
"Trouble No More" might fit..
Thanks for the music, memory, and we will see what tomorrow brings after all you were born "A Ramblin' Man"
The Allman Brothers Band have announced they are calling it quits after this year. I guess the road does not go on for ever for the band. Then again perhaps maybe forever has reached its end.
With Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks announcing they were leaving the band, I can see why they would call it a career..
Above was a clip of Warren and Derek performing "Old Friend." Okay, I'll put an Allman Brothers song or two in this blog. I'll start out with one of my favorites..
I wrote about the Allman Brothers on Yahoo Voices about them being one of my Top 10 Jam Bands which you can read here. They also made the cut as being one of Top 10 Southern Rock Bands which you can read here.
Did I get a chance to see The Allman Brothers Band live? Yes I was lucky enough to see them on back to back nights at The Wanee Festival in 2011..
My thoughts on the festival can be read here. I would recommend going this year if you want to see The Allman Brothers, info on Wanee can be found here.
Above is Whipping Post from last year's festival.The band is a classic and they will be missed. I am sure there might be a reunion or something down the road, maybe just to grab a peach or something!
Anyway I am back for the A to Z April Blogging Challenge and this is my first post. I hope you enjoy and come back and visit soon!
