Dickie Betts died earlier today at 80 years of age

I just read where Forest Richard Betts passed away earlier today. Although the article didn’t indicate the cause of death, however at 80 it may have just been natural causes. As we grow older, we are watching the building blocks of the music we have grown up with, fade away. Thankfully we have their recordings and will never really lose them. But Dickie’s contributions will always be treasures and it seems an appropriate time to give a listen to Blue Sky. I wanted to attach the link but it wouldn’t take for some reason. So long to the Midnight Rider.

Sad news but he passed the torch to his son. It’s nice to see the siblings carry on. I very much enjoy these records. From Wikipedia;

The Allman Betts Band is an American rock group. Formed in November 2018, it includes the sons of three founding members of the Allman Brothers Band – Devon Allman (son of Gregg Allman), Duane Betts (son of Dickey Betts), and Berry Duane Oakley (son of Berry Oakley).[1][2][3][4] The band plays mostly original songs, with some covers of Allman Brothers songs mixed in. They have toured nationally and internationally,[5][6][7] and have released two albums – Down to the River (2019)[8] and Bless Your Heart (2020).[9]
