I'll be in the area passing through and going to make a stop.  Looking forward to finally seeing it and visiting the area.

Nice Nebish! Enjoy and let us fans who have never been know about your experience.

Hopefully, I get the chance to visit before I get too old to enjoy it. 

Are you going to eat at H&H while you are there?

Be sure to check out Capricorn too, they did a great job renovating the studio.

Any ABB memorabilia on display at Capricorn?

I made the pilgrimage early March (Chuck L was in concert - he still has it.) Big house was amazing; food at H & H was great and well priced.

If you are planning to go to Rose Hill do so after going to the Big House because they will provide you with a map. We went ourselves and there was no attendant. Wandered around for a while until a bunch of motorcyclist taking a ride through the cemetery stopped and gave us a ride over or we'd still be wandering.

Nothing like visiting brothers Duane & Gregg as well as Mrs. Napier in style.

Thanks for the Liz Reed - my favorite song of all time.

Unfortunately this is the only clip small enough to post as I have 7 minutes of Jessica. "A Night Of Georgia Music" was a great Jazz/rock/Classical fusion and it's going to play on PBS later this year

I went with my wife to visit Van Goghs grave; she went to Macon with me. The town has cleaned up a lot from what it was in the past.

Good for you!  I visited back in October 2011 and had a blast.  Of course had lunch at the H&H and met Mama Louise.  Best fried chicken I ate since the last time my mom made it (turns out my mom learned how to make fc while my parents were living at Ft. Benning).  Topped the day off with a visit to Andersonville.  

Eventually made it to Gadsden, AL for the Jam For Duane that Saturday.  What a trip that was; good for the soul!  Need to do it again sooner than later.  Cheers!

I was there Friday.  We arrived in Macon at 11am and I wanted to be back on the road at 3 as we had to be in Tennessee that night.  So had wanted to arrive at 10, but as things go we got in an hour late.

Rose Hill - H&H - The Big House is all we had time for.

A very worthwhile trip and even though I was just there, sometime I would like to return for a full day.  The amount of time one could spend at Rose Hill and the Big House really is pretty limitless.  I will post photos tonight.
