One of my favorites. Founding member of the Allman Brothers Band, long-standing guitar player and main songwriter (along with Gregg Allman) Dickie Betts has passed away at age 80. Sucks, but this is going to keep happening. And nobody's doing a damn thing (in the music media anyhow) about promoting new music worthy of replacing these guys. So, it just hits harder. Not that the loss of a great guitarist and man doesn't hit hard enough. But, hate to sound callous: These guys are all old and dying and I have to wonder what's going to happen musically when they are all gone. Allman Brothers Band music has had a 50+ year staying power, how many '90's bands are gonna hold up that long? How about any artist from the 2000's?
Sorry, this thread should be ALL about Dickie Betts, but it brings a lot of other thoughts into my brain as well.
