Buzzy’s Garden
Dan, myself, and two other guys decided about nine years ago to move into our current residence, a home, complete with Japanese garden front and rear. Shortly after we moved in the gardener began to trim and take care of the garden. As it turns out the underbrush was hiding what had appeared to be […]

The Allman Brothers Band is Only Getting Better With Age
By: Jim Zahner Savannah Morning News Seeing an Allman Brothers show is a lot like seeing the past come to life.

It’s Still a Family Celebration
By: Thom Smith Palm Beach Post The Allman Brothers Band has always been about family. From the communal Big House during the pre-fame days in Macon, Ga., to the present of comfortable living and noodling grandchildren, good times and bad, death and divorce, the family has persevered… and thrived. “I’m having a (expletive) ball,” drummer […]
