Sad news. Heaven done called another blues singer back home.

Can you imagine the memorial concert that will probably come from it though? Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Robert Cray, Keb No, Jimmy Harring, maybe Clapton..........

And I forgot about ole Richard Betts pickin on that red guitar

Not to mention numerous "Father of the Year" awards.

I like the music but how this guy made 69 is a miracle.

We all like to watch a good train wreck I suppose.

RIP Allman.
