November 11, 20241 yr In honor of Veteran's Day. I'm curious about how many times in the few years after this picture was taken that the guy on drums tried to convince anyone who would listen that he really did play drums for Jimi Hendrix.

This whole article is worth a read and the book is great. https://alanpaul.substack.com/p/how-the-allman-brothers-band-helped Quote I am saddened by the news that President Jimmy Carter has died at 100 years old. I dug very deeply into his relationship with the Allman Brothers Band for my last book, Brothers and Sisters, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute I spent doing research at the Carter Center Library in Atlanta. I was very proud to know that he read and enjoyed Brothers and Sisters. The following story appeared in the February 25, 2023 Wall Street Journal when President carter announced he had entered hospice care Quote News that Jimmy Carter has died at 100 has sparked appreciation and admiration from many corners, including the fans and surviving members of the Allman Brothers Band. The group played a crucial role in his bid for the 1976 Democratic nomination and then the presidency. “The Allman Brothers helped put me in the White House by raising money when I didn’t have any,” Mr. Carter said in the documentary film “Jimmy Carter: Rock and Roll President.” As the then-governor of Georgia began his presidential campaign in early 1974, the Macon, Ga.-based band was the most popular act in the nation, riding high on their hit album “Brothers and Sisters” and its smash single “Ramblin’ Man.” The band’s co-frontman Gregg Allman was emerging as a national celebrity, a status sealed by his 1975 marriage to Cher. Quote Mr. Carter’s friendship with the band began in January 1974, when he hosted a reception for Bob Dylan and the Band following an Atlanta performance. The members of the Allman Brothers Band were invited, but none of them made it—at least while the guests were still there. In a 1987 interview with Kirk West, the band’s official archivist, Gregg Allman recalled that when he finally rolled up in a limousine, the lights were being turned off. As he was getting back into the car to drive the 90 miles back to Macon, a guard called after him and said the governor was waiting for him. Quote The limousine was waved ahead, and Allman saw Mr. Carter standing on the porch of the darkened house wearing a pair of Levi’s and a T-shirt, barefoot and with a baseball cap on his head. The governor greeted Allman and then surprised him by saying, “Come on in. I got some new Elmore James albums we can listen to.” As they walked inside, Mr. Carter praised Allman’s songwriting and started “rattling off the lyrics” to his songs. The governor was an educated, appreciative fan, and if he was consciously wooing the rock star, he was doing a good job of it. Quote Allman recalled that they had a drink together and then the governor said, “By the way, I’m running for president.” It seemed absurd to Allman that this guy sipping scotch and listening to deep blues might become president of the United States, but he truly liked Mr. Carter, admiring his gumption and “just folks” appeal. When Mr. Carter said he “may need some money down the road,” the rock star promised to bring the request to his bandmates. “It was a friendship thing for me,” Allman said. “If he told me he needed money to open used car lots, I probably would have helped him.” Quote The band’s biggest assist to the Carter campaign was a benefit concert they performed on Nov. 25, 1975, at Rhode Island’s Providence Civic Center. Journalist Geraldo Rivera emceed, introducing the candidate to the crowd as “an honest, open progressive politician.” Speaking to a smattering of boos, Mr. Carter raised his arms in the air and said simply, “I have just four things to tell you. My name is Jimmy Carter. I’m running for president. I need your help. I’m gonna win. And now I want to introduce some very good friends of mine from Macon, Georgia…the Allman Brothers.” The crowd erupted in cheers. Quote “Jimmy Carter didn’t mind being seen with us at all, despite being set up for ridicule by his opponents for hanging out with a bunch of hippie drug users,” a grateful Gregg Allman told Kirk West. When Allman received an honorary degree from Macon’s Mercer University in 2016, Mr. Carter was there to present it. On June 3, 2017, the ex-president returned to Macon to attend his friend’s funeral.

February 18Feb 18 Mudcrutch, L.A. 2016. They were the bar band at Dub’s - a Gainesville Florida joint I went to when I was a freshman at UF. I have an older sibling who knew Tom, and he was kind enough to give us tickets to this very small venue gig.

February 27Feb 27 Took this while working one of the cup races at TMS one year. Can’t remember which exactly. ‘08-‘10 give or take. Billy and the boys were putting on a little pre-race show and killing it. Was a nice little set, other than it was short.
