[Sticky] Gregg and the Peach Corps

You all may have heard about the two times the Allman Brothers Band let me select Peachy peeps to climb on a tour bus, travel with the Band around the country and have unprecedented access to everything ABB. If not, I'll be happy to re-tell the tale. During the second trip Gregg said he might be interested in meeting the "Real Trippers." Sure enough, one night Stacey (Gregg's then wife) told me Gregg was up for doing it the next morning. Since the group knew so much about him, he wanted to know something about them. My task was was to write down everyone's name and brief bio for him to review overnight. The next morning I got a call - I should have the Real Trippers all come to my hotel room, but not tell them why. Once the group was assembled I called Stacey. Soon there was a knock on the door ... Gregg, Stacey and Jasmine (their pup) had arrived!
The Real Trippers were astonished, but the experience got even better. Gregg and Stacey introduced themselves to everyone. Then Gregg told them if they wanted anything signed to run back to their rooms to get it. When they returned he also volunteered to answer any questions they had. You've never seen a happier group of people.
After about 45 minutes he said they needed to leave, but would we like a group photo first? Umm, yesss! That's the photo you see here, which Stacey took. Take care and know that you are loved, Lana

Back in the day we used to design t-shirts specifically for the Peach Corps. One of them was the "Give Peach a Chance" T Gregg is wearing in this photo. It was fun to give the guys their shirts ... and even more fun when they actually wore them. How many Peach Corps Ts do you remember or still have?

Not sure if this was one, I think it was, "peach to the beach." I traded you something for one, maybe the circular Pioneer poster from the '70's the band outside Idlewild South, Brothers & Sisters era. I still have the shirt! It somehow got smaller over the years because it can't be that I got bigger. 😉
