RIP Harold Reid of the Statler Brothers

Jstpssng · May 9, 2020

Another R&R legend has past. He was before my time, and not somebody I would be inclined to listen to anyways; yet he also was a founder back when rock was in it's infancy.

Little Richard, Founding Father of Rock Who Broke Musical Barriers, Dead at 87

The Allman Brothers were formed in Jacksonville, Florida. Duane & Gregg grew up in Daytona Beach, Florida.

FYI...I saw them often in the early years in clubs from Daytona to Tampa...before that Dickey Betts was a guitarist in several local bands where I grew up and my sister was a close friend of his later to be first wife...
...After the release of their first album Macon became their "home town"...

BTW...I was at several club shows where the Allman Bros. were the lead act and 'Mudcrutch' was the warm up band...If you don't know Mudcrutch later became 'Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers'...!!!

That's traveling music if there ever was any termed as such. Just rolling down the road listening .... takes me back a few decades.

Not to bring up an old death...but with the current situation I thought it OK on his birthday to bring up a great rendition of a great song (with a topical note (NPI)) by a big man with a small musical instrument...
