I remember being in the breakroom at work when the verdict was announced and a few of the brothers jumping up and down yelling yeeea!  I lost some faith in society that day!   :undecided:

Allman Brothers guitarist Dickey Betts dead at 80

"The legendary performer, songwriter, bandleader and family patriarch was at his home in Osprey, FL., surrounded by his family. Dickey was larger than life, and his loss will be felt world-wide.

Formed out of Jacksonville, Florida in 1969, the Allman brothers were a popular rock band with hits like "Ramblin' Man" and "Blue Sky." The original members included brothers Duane and Gregg Allman, as well as Berry Oakley, Butch Trucks Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johnson, and Betts.




I know what I'll be listening to tonight.  :cry:

Saw them at the open air concert (Midway stadium). Betts was a great guitar player, and song writer.

While I was never a huge fan of the band at first, with time I grew to really appreciate their place as it relates to Southern Rock. May he RIP.

Lost another GREAT ONE.....

Willie Mays gone today at age 93. One of the best to ever play the game. The "Say Hey Kid" Sporting News ranks him number 2.....only behind Babe Ruth.

Son Kiefer was a competent actor, but (in my opinion) never had his dad's 'cool' factor.  There was just something charismatic about Donald.  He had a lot of good movies, but my favorite was when he played Sgt. Oddball in "Kelly's Heroes."

Bummer to lose both Willie Mays and Donald Sutherland in the same week. By the time I started watching a lot of baseball, Willie Mays wasn't the factor he had been earlier in his career, but still a giant nonetheless. Watched the game played last nite at Rickwood Field. Way cool to see the old venue and hear the stories from the Negro League days. One just never knew where Donald Sutherland would show up. I still remember watching Animal House and hey! It's Donald Sutherland! Marvelous actor. Both will be missed.

Loved Kelly's Heroes. Especially as the tank commander blowing up the Train Station while playing the song....."I've been working on the Railroad."

But better as Trapper John in MASH and especially inspecting the troops as a Dumb General in Dirty Dozen.

Feel fortunate to have seen him with The Oaks just a few years ago at the Freeborn Co. Fair. The Oak Ridge Boys were one of my Mom's favorites. May he RIP.
