the amazing human being you are. I am for- ever grateful for my relationship with you, for sharing the stage with you so many times, for the honor of recording with you on some records that have stood the test of time. You will always be my hero and I am your biggest fan. Rest easy, my Brother.

We finished recording “Laid Back”, and soon after, “Brothers and Sisters”…and these are probably the two records that I am most proud to have my name on. Both garnered strong success, and I found myself in the middle of a whirlwind over the next several years. As we know, that whirlwind eventually re- sulted in changes for all of us in the band. But through all the changes that were to come, Gregg and I remained friends and he was always kind and gracious to me. In 2014, I was more than pleased to get the call to be in the core band to pay tribute to Gregg at the Fox Theater in Atlanta. The re- sult was the presentation, CD and DVD called “All My Friends”. It was such a fitting homage to Gregg, and I was honored and thrilled to be there for him. But also during that time, I had personally been asked to put together a special program for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra at Symphony Hall. I reluctantly asked Gregg if he would partici- pate, and without hesitation, he agreed. That was one of the most special and memorable shows I’ve ever done, and Gregg’s participa- tion certainly made it a major event. That just shows the kind of friend Gregg was. He certainly didn’t have to do that, and he didn’t take a dime for his participation. Thank you, Gregg…for your inspiration, for your talent, for your loyal friendship and for
"Gregg Allman's soul, talent and personal tragedy rendered him a musician of the highest order. He's gone, but we will always have his timeless music." –James Calemine, Southern author
“They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - Gregg was always on my mind when singing or playing the B3... I'll never forget the gig in '86 in Jax where I sat 10 feet from Gregg watching him sing (without a monitor!) when I "saved the day" after the lift gate on the equipment truck broke & his Leslie organ speaker fell 5' & smashed - my Leslie was 'Allmanized' & I'll never forget the soul that poured out of Gregg. Rest in peace.” -Tom Coerver, musician and songwriter
“ When Doc Holliday was on tour with the Gregg Allman Band my Hammond B3 was in bad disrepair. I was using a Japanese clone. This bothered Gregg really bad he in- sisted that I use his B3 even to the point of having his crew pull the Clone off stage and moving his Hammond to my side of the stage. He told me that he wouldn't allow me to play that "non-Hammond". Also on that tour he gave me his original Mushroom necklace, which I still have and cherish to this day. He was so good to me over the years. I love and miss him so!!” – Eddie Stone (Doc Holliday)
“I'm so very saddened to hear of the passing of rock & blues legend Gregg Allman. He was such a huge influence on me.” - Travis Tritt
