I recently read that Warren Haynes has teamed up with the Asheville City Soccer Club to create a custom apparel collection with his initials, WH, on the pieces. What a great guy he is and what a perfect gift for any Warren, soccer, or Asheville fan!
Speaking of a perfect gifts, the Allman Brothers Band played at Red Rocks 26 times between 1979 and 2009. When I was with them I often used my free time to roam around nearby cities to shop and grab a bite to eat before getting ready for the show. During one of those rambles I ran across what I considered to be a perfect gift for Warren, a hat.
After determining that it would fit him I took it back to the hotel, put it in a box, wrapped it up, and carried it backstage. When Warren arrived I told him I had a present for him and handed him the package.
"What is it?", he asked.
"A hat. A custom hat with your initials on it."
"You shouldn't have ..." , he continued as he began removing the gift wrap.
"Oh, it was nothing. But I thought if was perfect for you."
Soon he was holding the hat in his hands. A Waffle House paper hat which, of course, had his initials, WH, on it.
Warren thought it was perfect too - perfectly hilarious! - and wore it during the show until the wind blew it off his head. What a great guy!
