A new record to be released posthumously...he made sure he had one more kick at the can: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/dr-john-last-album-846783/?fbclid=IwAR30dGT8ATO44N1m9kCeC4u7H39c6GNRrTBKfsiW8notzpjIB0oLNB9kLO0 Here is one window into his second-line send-off....made me cry. Can't think of a better way to fly away

Almost a year later...no curveball this year but looking forward to Toronto and Blossom. Next week folks! In the meantime stumbled across a good piece on the role of phish in paving the way for Bonnaroo https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2019/06/11/bonnaroo-2019-how-phish-paved-way-for-festival/1417421001/?fbclid=IwAR1r8GgVXZZTTsGFNGdgtBroU--_qKzzyE38-YBiYOBliHp-_eqgc6inrjU

I thought this thread was as good a place as anywhere to put this. Guess it's a couple years old but new to me... an excellent piece on Derek Trucks reflecting on the life and legacy of Gregg Allman. Love these guys.... https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/derek-trucks-reflects-on-gregg-allmans-life-advice-and-legacy-195079/?fbclid=IwAR37FhzN_i-wHTvFtaWvesW_BSBOtUt_Mtm46uH7yxXpru2AGTcFWtK39DU

Absolute legend. What a life and what an imprint. Sad to see him go. I imagine he will spark one hell of a send off 🎶

And...Adam weighs in...with grace https://www.theaquarian.com/2019/05/29/circles-around-the-sun-simply-serendipitous/

Chris Robinson weighs in... https://www.jambase.com/article/chris-robinson-brotherhood-interview You can count me down for giving a fuck about Adam. Jeez. Having said that not sure I'm ready to watch the Brotherhood dissolve completely. Ball in Neal's court? Everything changes. If only we could all change with some grace.

They have announced their substitutes for the summer tour https://liveforlivemusic.com/news/chris-robinson-keyboardist-sears-robinow-2019/

Billy Strings brings the heat there is no doubt. He really blew me away despite being warned

Long live Willie! He is a living breathing historical archive

I'm really saddened by this. I love this band and they are not CRB without MacDougall. What a blow to not get to experience them one more time. I follow them closely and this certainly appears to be very sudden and disruptive. He has also left As the Crow Flies. Jeeeez.... So grateful for the countless life changing good times I have had with this band

A silver lining perhaps? Kudos to Billy Strings. I hope more will follow https://www.jambase.com/article/cashortrade-billy-strings-partnership

Steve Gorman is going to be releasing a memoir. I will definitely be reading this (love my musical biographies) https://liveforlivemusic.com/news/steve-gorman-black-crowes-book-2019/

Nice post! And agreed on the up and comers. Many of which have already put some respectable time in already. Long live Canjam!

Way to keep at it guys!
