Great Allman Brothers Show at Wolfgang's Vault

This weekend, we’ve been listening to a 12/31/73 New Year’s Eve show by the Allman Brothers, via Wolfgang’s Vault.

This set, from San Francisco’s Cow Palace, is full of highlights, including a magical, half-hour version of Les Brers In A Minor, with Jerry Garcia and Bill Kruetzman sitting in.  But as a huge fan of the Chuck Leavell-era Allmans, I have to share this excellent version of Southbound.

Wolfgang’s Vault is a great place to find some great, live music from back in the day when the music actually mattered.  Back when the Monkees were the exception, and not the rule

Letting the Lead Fly

We spent a lot of time outdoors over the Christmas holidays, including a couple of sporting clays outings with our friends the Cheneys and the Fenrichs.  Carolyn Cheney is an excellent photographer, and took some great pictures of Cassidy and me.  I combined them with a great song by my favorite band into a little video.
