It hurts but the music that was made will live on. I'm Gonna put on the headphones and enjoy In Memory of Elizabeth Reed in Dickies honor.

First time I saw ABB, they were third billed act opening for Blood Sweat, & Tears. Didn’t know who they were but thought they had a hell of a guitarist (Duane). Saw the Band of Gypsies concert. Can’t remember all the shows but one sticks out; Savoy Brown & Fleetwood Mac opening for The Kinks.

Can I ask what year you saw the Savoy Brown/FM and The Kinks? Cause that would have been a wild show.

I saw the kinks open for Tom Petty in (?)77 maybe. So you’ve seen some great shows.

Have a 2003 Mustang GT that's like a shadow grey and has smoked out tailights and tinted windows at the moment that I call "Midnight Rider". It's not the fastest thing, but it's a joy to drive.

rip one of my favs

I guess my memory wasn’t 100%. I had to do an internet search and it was actually Savoy Brown, Fleetwood Mac, & Fairport Convention.

Kinks played a couple of times. Here’s the list: http://www.fillmore-east.com/showlist.html
