I said "guitarist that never was". There were only about 2 years of real Duane Allman music and he was just getting started. All those other players had semblances of careers because they lived past 24. Albeit Jimmy didn't last much longer, but he did have a career. Both Jimmy and Eric said Duane was the about the best there was at the time. There is a reason Eric let Duane play lead and closing slide on Layla (yes - that's not Eric playing on Layla).

Again, this isn't about me. I'm great! Am great, doing great, being great. It would be nice if every post didn't dissolve into the crap fest it always does here. It would be nice if Rich didn't make a kooky fruit loop post for every little crazy thought that pops into that Walnut brain of his.

That's all. Carry on.
