Bob, I had a very interesting opening act...early Allman Bros experience last night. Brother & Sister were playing at a rural bar in an area that's pretty red. The warm up was an act whose leader is from Macon. He had a black drummer...who was the only black person in the place..and I suspect one of the few to ever set foot in that bar. It felt very Jaimoe to me...and the irony that Melody considers Jaimoe her uncle wasn't lost on me. They were no threats, or violence or anything like that. But I'm sure it was a new experience for some of the "regulars".
It was a VERY good gig...and both bands are headed to Peach.
