  1. I had to learn time signatures. Scott didn’t give a tinker’s cuss for shit like that.

    He knew what the fuck to do.

    RIP, Scott. Dead at 38. That guy didn’t give a shit what anybody had to say.

  2. In the recording sessions for Layla and Assorted Other Love Songs:

    “After the show, Allman asked Clapton if he could come by the studio to watch some recording sessions, but Eric invited him there directly, saying: “Bring your guitar; you got to play!” Jamming together overnight, the two bonded; Dowd reported that they “were trading licks, they were swapping guitars, they were talking shop and information and having a ball – no holds barred, just admiration for each other’s technique and facility.” Clapton wrote later in his autobiography that he and Allman were inseparable during the sessions in Florida; he talked about Allman as the “musical brother I’d never had but wished I did”. – Wiki

  3. @stirrin–my son still can’t believe that his father was in the audience for the Friday night concert (one of the two nights they recorded the material). Stormy Monday was always my favorite cut from that album with Elizabeth Reed a close second but tied with Statesboro Blues for that honor.
