Butch Trucks, 69, died 1/24 (Tuesday evening). One of the co founders of the Allman Brothers Band, and uncle of Derek Trucks (one of my favorites), passed away last night. Part of an amazing musical legacy, The Allman Brothers music has been part of my life since first hearing their music in 1970.

I had never heard of the band Gov't Mule before last night. There is a write-up on them in the latest issue of Stereophile and it's got my ears a' twitching. The founder is Warren Haynes of The Allman Brothers (the second incarnation) fame.
Which of their albums would be a good primer?... -
I've been going through my CDs and albums recently, exploring stuff I haven't heard in years. The last few days have been spent in the middle of a pile of southern rock, and southern R&B discs. I've been listening to groups like the Outlaws, Arc Angels, Pride & Glory, Govt. Mule, Chris Duarte....

I must have dreamed this....
Last night my girl walks in the house and says she has been giving a lot of thought to our upcoming marriage and has decided that she does not want to do the big wedding.
Ok with me.
Instead, she wants to get married in April...
