Happy Birthday Gregg! :flower2:
Thank you for the music which has made my heart beam out to the universe in awe and wonder at the beauty! You are a national treasure. What a celebration of life that you-- with your soul, with your brother, with your soul/band/mates and with your name--enfuse the world with the magical verve of American music in ABB form. How great is it that that's going strong and we're all enjoying and groovin' here?!!
A while ago, an Italian friend of mine, Claudio, came to the states for his first time and I made sure to take him to 2 ABB concerts during his stay!!:yep:... Bristol, VA and Jones Beach, NY--what a particularly magical night! He brought back to his very small lovely town in Tuscany a couple of ABB CDs, both from beginning times and the present. He loaned them to the cool young couple, Andrea and Antonella, who have one of the 2 bar/cafes in town and Andrea loved it so much that he played them ALL day long at FULL volume, morning to night for about a week! Some of the old-timers stopped hanging out :D, but it also drew people, like someone from Florence who stopped in and asked, "Hey is that the Allman Brothers?" Andrea said yes, and the guy said, "Yeah, sounds like I've got to catch up on what they're doing!"
Again, thanks so much with all my heart for having such a powerfully love-filled influence in my life. I always consider it a huge stroke of luck to have the privilege of attending a concert...of all the places I could be in the world, I'm utterly grateful to be present at a moment when that brilliant, exuberant, soulful, intelligent, healing, inspiring vibe of the Allman Brothers Band is beaming out!! Am I gushing?!! :colors: :blush:
All the very best to you and Stacy! :inlove2:
Love,
Janet
