I've seen the Allmans a few times where Dickey had his son Duane come
up and jam.  And his kid can really play.  Is Jackson Smith [love
that name!] a legit gtr plyr?  Must be pretty cool to go back to high
school and write that 'what I did on my summer vacation' paper, eh,
when you can nonchalantly point out:  Oh yeah, and I jammed with the
Allman Brothers...
