This past week-end my bestfriend, Lin, came to visit, she now lives in Columbia, SC; I now live in Atlanta, GA. It's the closest the two of us have geographically lived in proximity to one another in 39 years.
Lin and I met the Allman Joys in Gaslight Square back in 1967 at the Inn Crowd, it was my birthday. We all became great friends, and spent the next 2 years enjoying the best times with Duane, Gregg, Paul, Johnny, Wolf, and then, Pete.
I told Lin that I had been reunited with Gregg, and Stacy at The Roxy in December '98 after his show (many thanks to Lana, and Kirk) but he didn't seem to remember me. Lin said, Did you say your name was, Karen? I said, "Yes!"
She said, "Gregg didn't know you as Karen!" Remember, we were Rocki and Lin! You weren't Karen." "You should've said, Rocki and Lin!" "I still have the necklace he gave me!!" I am sure he would remember Rocki and Lin!
Lin wanted to go "antiquing;"so we drove up to Alpharetta, while in this shop, Gregg's Midnight Rider came on the music system; then, while paying for purchases, we spoke about how we had been friends since we were 18, and this young woman, says, "You should head on down the road to, "Queen of Hearts." "It's a great flea market!" We did, and Lin spent about 3 hours walking the aisles; during that time many ABB tunes were played. What a great day of remembering the best times.
