1. Good news for a change!

With my record collection quickly becoming a vinyl obituary column, I'll gladly accept this win for classic rock & roll. I hope he'll be able to go on with that tour in November. I believe it's with his very capable guitar playing son Duane.

In my case I think it was the heartfelt hope and deep concern that did the trick. LOL

Thanx for posting!

On edit: Yep

Dickey’s only son, Duane, who plays lead guitar in his dad’s Dickey Betts Band, recently finished a tour of Europe with the Devon Allman Project.

The new Dickey Betts Band debuted in May with a local “live rehearsal show” at Sarasota’s White Buffalo Saloon. The Dickey Betts Band has been touring the East Coast through the summer, earning positive reviews in publications such as Rolling Stone.

I just saw Duane Betts with the Devon Allman Project last month in Kent OH, and they were great.
