Hey there sweet family,
Beacon! Beacon! Beacon! 🙂 🙂 🙂
What a wonderful time the Allman Brothers Band and the Peach Corps are having at The Beacon Theatre in NYC! There are new songs (Afro Blue, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, Why Does Love Got to be So Sad, and Key to the Highway to name a few), special guests (Thom Doucette, Chris Robinson, Susan Tedeschi, Rob Barraco, Kofi Burbridge, and more), groovy parties (KCJimmy, the Hospitality Sweeties, Left Coast Groovies, Gary Nagle, et al – you’re the best!), surprises (Oteil’s “Hotel Shot” gig with Lamdog and the Peach Corps Choir, Marsha Marsha Marsha’s excellent adventure on Weekend Today, and an a-may-zen-ly cosmic auction that raised over $2,400 for the HepC Foundation and Rock & Wrap It Up). Are we having fun??? Yesssss! And there’s still much more to come! Whooo hooo!
Think my exuburance is over the top? Hah! Trip on over to https://allmanbrothersband.com where the Guest Book, Reviews, Forums, and Pix will reveal how completely laid-back and understated I’m being 🙂 Looks like I may have picked up some of Rowland’s British reserve! 😉
