RIP Dickey Betts

[Meister]

Another great musician has bit the dust. This is a tough loss for me.

Allman Brothers Band co-founder and legendary guitarist Dickey Betts dies at 80

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer died at his home in Osprey, Florida, David Spero, Betts’ manager of 20 years, told The Associated Press by phone.

This one hit home for me too. I saw the Allman Brothers in the 1970s. One of the best concerts I ever saw.

Dickie Betts was the real deal.

The Allman Brothers pretty much invented southern rock. Some of Betts' best work was when he and Duane Allman were playing together.

Another sign of ageing... when all the bands/members you love start dying one by one.
