Dickey Betts: Nobody KnowsÂ
Marking the first anniversary of Dickey's death with a reflection on the life and legacy of the ABB guitarist and vocalist, after 30 years of interviewing and writing about him.
Â
When I heard, I called my son who was away at school to let him know. Â Dickey was his favorite Brother and while he knew it was no surprise, he was sad. Â He posted some pictures and some songs on his Instagram page. Â The road goes on forever... 🌹Â
Unfortunately with the circumstances of Dickey's passing it helped me reconnect with a longtime friend who I attended so many ABB shows with dating back to '72. Some times with sorrow comes rebirth.
"Is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?"
DICKEY BETTS SHREDS!!!!!Â
I guess when one includes song writing, Dickey was the best guitarist the ABB had.Â
I remember Jaimoe was asked in an interview about Warren and he was complimentary but said "Warren isn't Betts. Betts is a mother f*****!! Listen to Dickey's tone!"
