He will be missed! Alot of great music. I saw a cool documentary on him not long ago (The big interview with Dan Rather) he played some cool piano and guitar right in his home and had alot of interesting things to talk about. The story of how his dad got shot/murdered was really messed up! That family went through some rough times, music was always him and Duane's passion.
I just mentioned that interview in the Allman thread. That was a great interview, and he looked really healthy (he's lived a hard life; he needed a liver transplant because his had Hep C, sclerosis, and something else... he basically was a goner if it didn't come through). I loved his voice (anyone who is on the fence on the Allman's, check out the album "Where It All Begins", specifically "Soulshine". That may be my favorite Allman's song, ever (and there are many candidates). I don't really care for the more country stuff - "Blue Sky" is take it or leave it - but some of the more southern, bluesy stuff is so powerful, and when they veer into their weird version of "jazz" it is transcendent.
