I think it's fair to say that most of my favourite bands, from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Blackberry Smoke, wouldn't exist or at least not sound the way they do if not for Gregg Allman and The Allman Brothers Band. He had a golden voice and a special talent for song writing. People love to throw around words like the greatest, but in Gregg’s case, I truly believe he was one of the greatest. Thanks for the music, Gregg. :uh: :uh: :uh:

He lived a hard life, but filled so many lives with timeless music. Like the band once said, "The Road Goes On Forever". RIP Gregg, and thank you.

This one hurts as Gregg was a huge influence for me. Melissa was one of those songs that inspired me to learn guitar, I actually learned the lead part way before I learned the rythmn section. 40 years on and I'm still playing Melissa, although now it's acoustically, it's such a beautiful song that still resonates and I've never tired of playing it. Thank you Brother Gregg for all of the great music over the years and may you rest easy knowing your music will live on forever.
