How about that? Derek on the front page of the Leisure section in the Miami paper. Too cool.
Even though Derek spent significant time as a teenager playing on stage in Atlanta and his entire dTb bandmates are from ATL, he can hardly even get a mention here. The Atlanta paper hasn't written beyond a paragraph on any member of the Allmans since a review of the first Fox show in 1998. Prior to that, the Allmans were regularly featured in the AJC including individual features on Jack & Oteil when they joined the band.
You would think with Derek's personal story (child prodigy grows up to join the Allmans & marry Susan T) and the accolades he gets from everywhere, he'd be one rock/blues/jazz guy they'd like to cover.
