Not sure if this has been posted. This is part of an interview with the WSJ from a few days ago.

You’ve added more Allman Brothers songs to the Gregg Allman Band set list, including “Southbound”—and when you play that you always make sure to announce that Dickey Betts wrote it. You guys had a very bitter public falling out in 2000. Why do you say that?
Because he should be credited for writing a very good song! Like they say, time heals. I haven’t seen him in a very long time and would be very open to it. In fact, I would love to play with him again.
So are you saying that…?
...just to jam! I love my band and I’m pretty set for guitar players, but I’d love to see Betts. We had our ups and down and all our demons. We had our problems, our ins and outs and our public embarrassments on both sides. But that’s all way behind us now. There’s nothing at all wrong with forgive and forget.
Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,
WOW. Now that's a quote from Gregg I never expected to hear.
I'll even be happy if they start talking to each other at least.... they are Brothers afterall!

It'd do my heart good to know that they're back on each others Christmas card list. Too many shared life experiences. These two guys (and Butch and Jaimoe) are brothers in the truest sense of the word. They all need to remember to remember this.
Good thing!
