with The Outlaws, “Cold and Lonesome,” and then stepped up to the mic and announced that, since no one else had played it today, he would do “Melissa.” I’m so glad he did. It was very nice to hear that. Here I go again- an- other of my favorite Allman Brothers songs. Harvey and the band ended the most excel- lent day of music with another tune he played with The Outlaws, “Freeborn Man.” A true classic. I would be remiss if I did not thank
Havey Dalton Arnold.
mighty fine guitar picking. In another nice surprise, the band backed Harvey up on the classic Outlaws tune, “There Goes Another Love Song.” Pinch me. I must be dreaming. I was honored to take the stage alongside these great musicians to belt out a couple of tunes to close the set. The band sounded so good on “Stormy Monday,” I closed my eyes and felt like I was onstage with the Brothers themselves. Quite a rush. And darn fun, I might add. It’s a kick to look over to my right to see Harvey Dalton Arnold pickin’ the blues. Another true highlight of my years as a south- ern rock writer/performer. To close it all out, I did my best to
channel Toy Caldwell and Doug Gray at the same time on “Can’t You See,” a song I have had the honor of singing hundreds, maybe thousands of times with everyone you can think of, including many times with the actual Marshall Tucker Band. Such a blast. The band cooked, and I was happy the ultra-talented Julia Vo joined in on backing vocals. I later founded out she had family connections to the MTB. Cool. Just like that, it was time for the final
set of the day from The Harvey Dalton Arnold Band. Harvey played the classic rocking “Going Down” and one of the many favorites from his own pen, “Early Bird.” The band played several others, including a song he did
Don Eason, Idlewild South, all of the musi- cians, the Cat’s Cradle, and everyone involved in making this fourth annual One for Duane a fundraiser for The Southern Rock Hall of Fame. Thanks to all who came out for the fun. If you weren’t there, you missed something very special. No kidding. A fitting and well deserved tribute to Duane, with a major dose of love for absent ABB family members lost this year – Gregg Allman, Butch Trucks, Johnny Sandlin, Col. Bruce Hampton. The road goes on forever. . . •
