Anyone who's visited Rusty & Donna's house know it is as wooded of an urban neighborhood as you'll find anywhere. Thankfully they weren't personally hit by one of those old growth trees. Keeping them in my thoughts & prayers.

Keeping Rusty & Donna & Brent in my thoughts this am. Glad to hear y'all are OK! The rest is just STUFF, and it can & will be replaced. Great to see the positive vibe around here after the happennings in Macon last weekend! Know the Dog is smiling down at what he saw and heard! Semper Fi!
Thanks to Butch for posting and sharing your feeling with us.
I feel that in general, sometimes,we miss a chance to make things better with people we love. The problem is no one wants to make the first move.
A line from a Don Henley song comes to my mind ... "You keep carrying around that anger, it will eat you up inside".

Some really great post here.
Thanks Butch. Like gapeach said, it really made a difference for a lot of us, even though ultimately it was about you and Augie.
And like BOD said, you could tell Butch Trucks was in the house! Thanks for sharing birds thoughts BLD. Words to LIVE by. Prayers to Rusty and Donna.
That's some powerful words there BLD2 - Thank you for passing that along.
Please keep Rusty and Donna in your prayers, their house was hit in this storm this morning. They are fine, but their house is not.
As I cannot post on Dickey's site and have no clue as to why, I am taking the liberty and posting what Birdman wrote - I hope he does not mind -
DEATH
I've wrestled with death, not mine, I'm still here annoying folk... but I guess with the med battle I had, I saw the potentiality of death. But no, I've wrestled with people dying. Special people. I've talked to countless people and spent many hours in introspection. Nobody has answers. Talked to preachers and priests and many not of the cloth....
one man of faith told me one thing, and I like it.
I have trouble feeling the ones I loved gone lived for no purpose. It bothers me much, the unfullfilled, since they were not adults.
But what I was told is a noble thing. Think of the ones gone, and think of what their best traits were. Calmness, kindness, whatever. Find one that is one you are lacking in...... and embrace it. Make it a goal to make it a trait of yours; learned albeit.
For then they left a gift, and their life had one purpose that you carry on and maybe impart on others through it's good effect.
I can find a few from Red Dog. I picked his traits of acceptance and calmness, ones I woefully need.
God Bless THE DOG, he lives on in all of us.
Excellent post by Birdman on Dickey's site -
yes nuff said -
any update on Brent?
Enjoy your show this Friday Debbie -
looking forward to my dose of Warren next month and my first Yankees game of the season this weekend!
It blessed all of our hearts to see you there Butch and we all know it was just what Doggie would've wanted.
Thank you for coming and representing the band that has brought us all here together and for honoring your friend that we all Loved so dearly......It was an incredible night, just what he deserved. 🙂
:dog: :inlove:

Dontcha just love the good time feeling of love all around :inlove:.. it's what we need more of in this lifetime...
Family , Friends is what is important, all the rest is to occupy your time..
Peace to all
Awesome post Butch, enough said.
Butch, we are all outside looking in. You and Auggie knew what the real deal was. None of us readers and posters had a dog in the fight, but in the end, I do believe the love and feelings of brotherhood were still there between you guys. As I said to someone Friday night, "They were brothers, and sometimes brothers fight." You put a solid foundation under the rest of the players Friday night. It was a beautiful thing. Thanks again for making it a great night.
Morning all! Hope it's a Blue Sky day for all the peeps in Peachdom! Has anyone heard any news from Brent's eye surgery yesterday? Any update would be much appreciated!
thanks Butch
I haven't visited this site in some time, but after going to Macon for Red Dog's memorial I though I would check out the feedback. Thank you to all of you that posted your positive thoughts. It was a wonderful time being able to play with Scott, Jimmy, Paul, and the always incredible Bonnie. I had so much fun and I am certain that that is exactly what Red Dog would have wanted. I did read a couple (and I do mean two) out of many posts that flamed me. After past experiences here trying to define my side ( and there are two sides to every dispute) I will not waste my time and risk another round (which I will not participate in) of flames. All I will say is that Red Dog and I did have a falling out toward the end. I will ever regret that we were not able to resolve these differences. When faced with whether or not I would attend his memorial in Macon there was only one factor that mattered. The 35+ years before our dispute (over 1/2 half of my life) that Augie and I were best of friends and all of the incredible shared experiences that go to making up who I am. I had to be there. That decision was mine and mine alone it was no one else s business. AS with the growing list of people that came and went through the ABB family Red Dog was one of the few that was there from the beginning I do and I always will miss him and love him. ,nuff said
South Florida lost a legend today. Jim Mandich.
He played for the Dolphins in 1972, the undefeated season. He was a broadcaster for the Fins for many years.
He also hosted a sports radio show for over 10 years, which I listened to daily on WQAM radio. I learned so much about football from him. thank you, Jim.
He passed away today from cancer. We HAVE to beat this horrible disease.
RIP, Jim.........u touched so many lives in a good way. We will miss you.
