Spent a couple of fine Fourth of "Jew-lie"s (Gregg's way of saying July) with the Allman Brothers Band.

Conyers, GA
Made the mad dash from Athens to Conyers to get their just in time for the show. Did some more research on the effects of mushrooms and got my introduction to the religion of Jackie Pearson, great time, great setlist, and a great show, still one of my favorites.

July 4, 2002
Nashville, TN
First time meeting many Guest Book folks in person...Great Scott, Cee Cee, Zambi, Joe Roy, and Easy Michael. We had great seats 6 rows back from the stage and it was as hot as a son of a b*tch up front. We partied in full observance of the Fourth of July. The Bros. took the stage, Oteil started to levitate (I hate it when he does that), 3, 2, 1, blast off and the rest is history. Good but not great show and setlist. Highlight was Southbound with Jackie P. and Johnny Neel. Lowlight was post concert, tossing and turning in bed with this screaming in my head:
"Been lying here for hours
Can't get my eyes to close
Can't get one moments peace
To save my poor old soul
I've been doing more than drinking
Trying to easy my pain
But everywhere I go, somebody speaks your name
All my friends keep asking
"Boy, what's wrong with you?"
I say, "I'm worried, worried down with the blues"
Too much sun and fun for me, to say the least.
Will be catching the Cubs-Braves game on the 4th this year, should be fun. Everyone enjoy the holiday weekend, be safe.
Thoughts, prayers, and thank you's to our armed forces and their families.
Take care,
Ryan
