I know at one point the Allman’s had offered a harp playing position to Richard Newell (AKA King Biscuit Boy), which he declined for personal reasons…… This was in the Crowbar days, early 70′s

Duane seems like such a cool guy. His speech is plain, but very sophistocated at the same. Its such a shame he was killed.

Hello Kolby…As far as I know, Duane dropped out of high school to become a full time guitar player….He did go to military school for awhile….Although he was a high school dropout, I understand that he was a very well read person…Hope that helps…If you need more info, let me know…His biography Skydog is available..

As a guitarist Duane towers above pretty much everyone in the rock/blues vein and he was the inspiration for my picking up the guitar 35 years ago. His ranking behind Hendrix as #2 on most all time lists is well deserved. However, I find his comments about getting rid of his wife and kid disturbing. It seems immature and selfish. OK, wives come and go but, were I his daughter, I would feel insulted and betrayed. I am grateful for what he gave to his audience but saddened by what he didn’t give his child.

I knew that interview for a while – it´s really funny…
duane is so intense when he talked about music, the band ect.
I first listen to the brothers when I was 18 years old – now I am 42;
I still listen to the fillmore east album – it´s a corner stone of my record collection; and after I start learning to play guitar; it gets more incredible – he played things on the guitar that blows my socks off…
he´s the reason why I picked up the guitar;
one fine example is blue sky from the abb archive – stony brook 71;
the first solo is played by duane; he puts his soul in every note – the second solo by dickey is also awesome; with killer basslines from barry oakley – the whole band was on fire
