Dude, when you posted that live Frogwings vid on youtube, I was stunned. I LOVE that shit. How did that slip by me? I didn't understand. I have been glued to The Allman Brothers Band since the late 1970's. Psyched, I went straight to Discogs in search of a Frogwings vinyl or at least the CD. No vinyl, but they had several Croakin at Toads CDs. Back to youtube I went to give the album a listen before I bought it...and I was like oh, man what the hell? Popper...Popper. It just didn't gel with me. Had they stayed instrumental and were able to maintain the original line up for an album, they would have been something else.
If only they had enough recorded live material from the OG line up to make a live album...
When the quiet of my communicator was broken by a steady stream of questioning, brief, texts all referring to some 'thing' happening at Butch’s, I asked The Universe to please let not an act of cowardice be the closing act of The Freight Train.
The whispers grew louder until a definite confirmation came through yet even then, no long time fan was saying a word to any one.
The private messaging slowly began and I got word from an undoubtable source then turned off the communicator.
I guess I’ve yet to forgive the fractured mind that accomplished the still unspeakable.
It’s nice to read good of Butchie for his talent and understanding of where each person is in the music and how best they resonate, is impeccable. He drove, pushed, pulled and gave in to keep that drive in the groove …..
Nevah mind. Thanks Bob for your injection of positivity booster. I’ll be okay and other while - and understanding may find a home here.😖
