While of course familiar with the song, I’d never really done any research about it. You probably already know this so just skip if so but …
“The song is named after a headstone Betts saw at the Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon, Georgia,[3] a place frequented by band members in their early days to relax and write songs. Considerable legend has developed about what Betts was doing at the time, some originated by a possibly put-on interview Duane Allman gave Rolling Stone.[4] The cemetery was later memorialized by the band as the final resting spot of both band leader Duane Allman and bassist Berry Oakley”
Fascinating!

Such a beautiful strong portrait Joerg.
(I had the pleasure of seeing the Allman Bros play not so long ago at The Beacon!)

Wonderful image Joerg. It also happens to be one of the Allman Brothers Band’s greatest songs. Great work.
