Damn (the other kind of damn)
Dickey Betts died
Ouch that hurts.
Interestingly last month I met Blue Sky (Sandy “Bluesky” Wabegijig), Dickey’s ex-wife for whom the song was named after. I did not know that they have a daughter called Jessica, who also has an Allman Bros song named after her. I was a bit starstruck as they’re one of my favourite acts, and I still actively listen to their material with those two songs being among my favourites.
This was in a very small club watching a band, and I did not want to bother her too much being a drooling fanboy, but she did not have much nice to say about Dickey, unfortunately.
