to the next gig, you’re alone with whatever voices you have. Maybe they’re saying you have to do better, more, fill that next venue, or write that next hit… And who can you trust? Who wants a piece of you? Do they re- ally care about you?! Some care as long as you’re fun and on fire and can give them something, but what about your needs? We all have them and they don’t go away no mat- ter how busy or popular we are. No amount of cover-up will do. Maybe Chris got tired. I know the feeling. All I can say is there is help and hope and life beyond that “Black Hole Sun.”
mentally and physically. I found my friends later. They had wandered off in their own trance. We may have had a little “help,” but that show remains at the top of my extensive list. “Morning Dew” is the theme song on my radio show Rockin’ Your
Health.To date, no one has guessed that it’s Duane and Gregg. In his younger years, we know Gregg
lived a life of excess, had Hepatitis C, a liver transplant and cancer. He got clean, but that lifestyle took its toll. Depending on his choices in the years that followed, his health may have been unable to recover. He hadn’t looked good for years. As a caregiver, I heard the word Hospice and got chills. The denial didn’t fool me. My heart was broken. When the news came of his passing it was no sur- prise, but just as tragic. If he had known in his younger days that what he did then would shorten his life, would he have changed it? I hope so. It’s not too late for you! I’m here to help! “Are You Gonna Go
My Way?” • Of course, the most recent and irre-
placeable icon we lost was Gregg Allman. We all have our Allman Brothers story. Mine is probably not unique. I saw Gregg solo in the late ‘80s in The Tennessee Theatre in down- town Knoxville. It was a great show, and I was thrilled to see the legend. It was a small, his- toric venue and he wailed away on that key- board, but I couldn’t help but yearn for the rest of the band. I finally got my wish and saw the Allman Brothers Band in 1993. I was mesmerized. I have loved them since I was young in the ‘70s, but to actually see them was a dream come true. I wish it had been the original lineup, but that night was magical. It was outside at the World’s Fair Park, again in my hometown of Knoxville. It was a summer evening, but it was clear and cooled off when the sun went down. The city skyline was the backdrop. I made my way upfront and got lost
