In Memory of Elizabeth Reed

The Allman Brothers will always have a place of honor in my JukeBox Brain. My band Bethlehem Asylum was fortunate enough to open for the original Allmans on numerous occasions in the South when we were all getting started. The cemetary in Macon, Georgia was hallowed ground. Elizabeth Reed’s headstone marked a spiritual commitment to the music. The shimmering guitar duets accompanied by Gregg’s masterful vocals and B3 organ playing, Jaimo and Butch’s unstoppable drumming, Berry’s inspired Bass, celestial slide guitar of Duane and Dicky’s melodic inspiration testified to the fact that they were the greatest blues band in the world. But their arrangements were more classical then merely one chord, four chord and five chord. Duane played Coltrane’s “Love Supreme” in his slide delectations. Witnessing them was a high psychic plateau of creativity that I will always cherish in my Jukebox brain.
