One of my favorites, Sothbound, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, Jessica, Blue sky are all still on my playlist.  Maybe underrated when comparing to Duane?

Ron, thanks for mentioning that. I was just watching Dickey Betts on Youtube a couple weeks ago because we were preparing for a solo to the backing track of Stormy Monday by the Allman Brothers as part of our jam 4.

I'm now going to watch and listen to something with him specifically.

@bluesiline , "I'm now going to watch and listen to something with him specifically."

I'm not completely sure what that means but "Blue Sky"?  Many people don't reaalize that this song is not about nice weather, etc.  It is about Dickey's girlfriend, who is Native American, and that is her name.

Ron, the following video, for example, is something like what I meant with my statement „I'm now going to watch and listen to something with him specifically.“
