RIP Dickey Betts

[dravnx]

Passed away at his home in Sarasota, Fla at 80.
Founding member of the Allman Bros Band.
So glad I had the pleasure of experiencing his magic on a few occasions. Pure face cracking smiles and body moving musical bliss.

Another great one has passed.

The song he wrote "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" is one of the best rock instrumentals of all time...live on one of the great rock albums of our time.

A life will lived.

As soon as I heard here about his passing, I played In Memory of Elizabeth Reed. It still sounds great.

Ramblin’ Man moves on while we hang on to those grooves. Thanks for the jams Mr Betts. Have seen his son Duane play as well, now in Allman Betts Band. Looks alot like his dad.
