ONE FOR DUANE October 29, 2017 Cat’s Cradle Chapel Hill, NC
On Sunday afternoon, October 29,
2017, a group of true Southern Rock fans con- verged at the backroom stage of the Cat’s Cra- dle in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, land of the Tar heels, to pay tribute to Duane Allman on the anniversary of this tragic motorbike wreck back in 1971.
