Well what can I say, no Dickey no Allman Brothers.  Their biggest hit wasn't an Allman Brothers song.  And yes, he's my G.O.A.T guitar player.

Other than Duane, the most important guitar player EVER in the Allman Brothers Band. 

Dickey's sound is huge in the band's recorded and live history!! 

Happy 80th Mr. Betts.

Dickey was at the Sarasota Allman Betts Band show on his 80th birthday. They surprised him with an Gibson Les Paul Goldtop Birthday Cake!!
