Get well Dickey Betts

In my view he was the soul of the Allman’s and in a good day solo one of the all time greats.

Thank god it wasn't a motorcycle accident.

Freak accident? Did his wife start hitting back?

One of the great conduits to the madness out there.

My freshman year in high school, one of my best friends from nursery school's brother, who I also knew very well ... well, we ended up going to the same high school, he was a year older than me, Chris; anyway.

He hung himself in their garage and it tore all of us up, especially that family. I felt so bad for them as it was my first taste of suicide. His sister pulled me aside in a little support get together the night after before the funeral/memorial.

She said, "He had a front row ticket to the Allman Brother's Band. Take it." I said that it was on the day of the funeral and that would be not in my moral compass to miss. She told me to take it.

I took it, went solo at 13, and missed the mess of a young death blown up emotional explosion; Dickey Betts threw over a dozen guitar pics right at me. I gave as many as I could have saved to her. The dude ripped.

They both did. Taught me the meaning of riding a rail.

Wow. Thanks for sharing. On the 9/19 1 year anniversary of one of my close friends suicide no less. Aside from that sadness, you went to the show solo at 13??!!
