They aren't the musician of my youth, but of my late twenties and early thirties. Oh no, What does that mean about me?!!!

It was those kind of songs he wrote that inspired me to hitch-hike from Des Moines, IA to the California Bay Area in the summer of 1975. I wouldn't suggest for any 19 year old to do that today though.

I started listening to Allman Brothers in 1971, with Live At Fillmore, still listening to them.
