Happy Holidays to all. I am attempting to make the Beacon run for my first time this year. Anyone have suggestions on where to stay?
Merry Christmas......Peach on Earth.....EAPFP
Beautiful story, Lana ! I just love the line, 'church isn't the place for improv' ... I'm still smilin'.
It's a beautiful day here, and I didn't ask for anything, but somehow, after a wonderful hike with my dog, the 9/22/02 ABB Liz Reed with Kofi Burbridge on flute was playing .... and WOW, that's ALL I ever need, guys ----- Thank You!
Much love to everyone out there.
I LOVE the Allman Brothers Band.
Merry Christmas to everyone! I had an Allman Brother Christmas this year, always wanted one of those. ha ha
First as I have posted I received the Deepest End from a friend, next came the Beacon DVD, my daughter sent me a nice Allman Brother golf shirt and her boyfriend sent me an autographed to me from Derek Trucks guitar pick guard. Even though we don't have a white Christmas here in Forida, it sure turned out to be a merry one.. Still looking in my sock full of coal to see if there might be tickets to the Beacon run.
For anyone interested, I am having a Gin Mill pre-show (a-la the Allman Beacon) ... next Tuesday, 12/30.
This time it's a Gov't Mule pre-show party from 5:30-7:30, as always at the Gin Mill, 442 Amsterdam Ave, between 81st & 82nd St... It's going to be upstairs in the back.
If anyone from this guest book happens to be going to the Mule/Maceo Parker show on Tuesday 12/30 at the Beacon, feel free to stop by.
Happy holidaze everyone.

Hey there sweet family,
Bird, you're an inspiration! Your comment sparked a memory of the closest I can come to an ABB "Hallmark Moment" Christmas story:
Long, ago and far away (1988, Superior, WI) I was leader of the Lutheran church women in NW WI and president of our church's (Bethel Lutheran) women's group. A major event of the church's holiday season (behind the children's Christmas pageant and the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services) was the Christmas Tea. The Christmas Tea, held on a weeknight early in December, was the preamble to the holiday season ... an opportunity to bake and bring your fanciest sugar cookies to church, and wear outfits that made you look like a sugar cookie as well.
The evening of the Christmas Tea the Gregg Allman Band was opening for Stevie Ray Vaughn 150 miles away in Minneapolis-St. Paul. I tried very, very hard to be a good Lutheran church lady and miss the concert ... but ended up grabbing a friend of mine from Sri Lanka (non-Lutheran, so free of inner-conflict) and rolled on down to the Cities.
The following Saturday I arrived at the church about 1:30 in the afternoon to unlock it, turn on the lights, and turn up the furnace for the 2:00 practice of the children's pageant. That done, I walked up to the altar to admire the easily 20 feet tall Christmas trees that had recently been put up.
A few minutes later, a voice behind me said, "We missed you at the Christmas Tea. Where were you?" It was Pastor Mark Hiiva. He was leading the children in a few songs for the pageant and had come early to make sure his guitar was in tune.
Church - especially at the altar - isn't a place to improv', so I told him the truth. "The Gregg Allman Band was playing in the Cities and I went to see them. I've always loved the Allman Brothers Band ... I couldn't resist."
Pastor Mark, guitar in hand, strode the few steps towards me, "The Allman Brothers Band? You missed the tea to see Gregg Allman?"
Amazingly lightning didn't strike as I answered, "Yes."
Then Pastor Mark said, "If I'd known, I would have too!" and proceeded to play an acoustic version of Whipping Post right there between the Christmas trees while the bright afternoon sun streamed colors from the stained glass windows on us. It was practically a light show! :spinner:
I almost never miss Superior, WI or socialized religion, but do miss Pastor Mark. He left Superior before I did to minister in an impoverished multi-cultural section of Los Angeles. Peach be with you, Pastor Mark.
Take care and know that you are loved,
Lana
During the night there was some major rumbling and skidding noises, scared me and Miss Elf half to death, and we cowered under the covers. So this morning I get up to investigate and it looks like some kind of sled landed out in the yard, and there was also what looked to be hoof marks everywhere. There were also all kinds of gifts in our house that were not there when we went to bed. I am a tech freak and have set up little web cams in the house and I just reviewed last nights tapes...A very large and jolly guy, dressed in red and white had somehow gotten into our house and just started pulling these gifts out of this big bag. Then, right before he left, he looked directly into one of the cameras and winked and then bellowed what sounded like Ho, Ho, Ho, and then said Merry Christmas to all! He had such a kind and loving gaze, this man. I just wanted to relate this to y'all, this is not something that happens every day to us. It has filled me with love and wonderment and I think the big guys message is worth repeating. Merry Christmas to all!!
hey gang Merry Christmas All:waving:
Merry Christmas to one and all.
Hope this day finds you peaceful and joyful.
God bless.
HO HO HO !!!
**MERRY CHRISTMAS**
