Wow that sucks! :( I'm glad I got to see the Allman Brothers a couple of years before they broke up. He was schedule to play near where I live on March 23rd with his solo band. I was thinking about going to see him. RIP, Butch. :(

R.I.P. Butch Trucks.
I saw him in 1974 at Knebworth. He was a machine. Great loss to the world. Condolences to his family and friends.

He, Duane, and Berry Oakley got one helluva band *up there* now.

But it's a sad day for us mortals down here.

:(

RIP Butch

Claude Hudson Trucks Jr.found dead in West Palm Beach was the first thing I saw on TV this morning. Sad.

Butch once went to Florida State University after joining the band to take classes in their school of music. His marks were C and B, and in the end he proclaimed that, even though he was a world class drummer, he couldn't reach a mark of A! Obviously, there's another lesson there. He also had no need for drums at home when that was often only seen at rehearsal. He had great recall.

Well, Butch . . . your family, friends, and fans will recall your contributions as you travel your journey.

Peace
