Pleasant Dream

I had one of those vivid dreams that stick with you last night. It was of the girl in the Layla cover just below Duane's photo if I remember. She was mostly in that great Joe Cocker video singing her head off like she used to be in a choir. Carl Radle's in it too, bless him. Woke up with She Came in Thru the Bathroom Window singing in my head. Not a bad way to wake up. Thank you wonderful music makers. Great way to start off the year.

Duane, Hotlanta, and the guy at Missing Link Audio

Wound_Up — Wed, 20 Sep 2023 03:47:16 +0000

Anybody know the story behind this guy at Missing Link Audio, named Mike Ladd? He's got all of this Duane & Dickey specific stuff for sale, pickups and pedals and amps, and claims that he rewound the pickups that were in Hotlanta after Duane got it and that they were some crazy number like 14k or something.

Has anyone heard of this guy? It's odd that the only time Ive ever heard this story about Hotlanta having "aftermarket" pickups is from him. Or even his name period. I've never heard or read it anywhere else. Does anybody know who this guy is? He claims to have been friends with Duane and everybody and that he made those pickups but I've never read his name anywhere when reading about Duane's guitars so Im skeptical. He also says Duane was using a set of his pickups on the Fillmore East album.

Anybody got any info on this guy? Is he legit? Full of it? If hes legit, why does his name never appear anywhere when talking about Duane's guitars?

Duane's hair

Billastro — Wed, 12 Apr 2023 00:48:50 +0000

In Rick Hall's autobiography, The Man from Muscle Shoals, he describes Duane as having hair down to his waist (page 282).

I've seen loads of pictures of Duane, but never any remotely like this. Has anybody out there in Allmanland seen a picture of Duane's mane?

Serendipity strikes! I found this while looking for something else. Now you have a project for your spare time.

Why did "Skydog: The Duane Allman Retrospective" get such limited release?

Billastro — Tue, 03 Jan 2023 17:23:12 +0000

The subject says the basics. Anthologies 1 and 2 are still in print at reasonable prices; Amazon and eBay lists Skydog: The Duane... at ridiculous prices as highly collectible items. This is hardly the way to add to Duane's legacy. Grrr! 😡
