   Much appreciated.  Thanks...  ;-)

   "Did She Mention My Name".  Nice song.  I think he actually got
 better in the mid-to-late '70s, but then he went downhill.

 BR> Give the the Allman Bros. churning out Statesboro Blues or

   One of my former bands used to do "Ain't Wasting Time No More" and
 "One Way Out", and I also used to do "Little Martha" as an acoustic
 duet with a friend.  I was a pretty big fan of early Allman Brothers,
 but I never liked "Whipping Post" for some reason.  I guess my faves
 were always the more melodic songs like, "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed",
 "Midnight Rider", "Hot 'Lanta", "Melissa", "Little Martha", "Jessica",
 Hmmmm... come to think of it, with the Allman Brothers at least, if
 it's got a girl's name in the title, it's probably one I like.  <grin>

 BR> Man, you are getting old, it's only about a days hitchhike down

   Well, ...I'll keep that in mind, Bill.  ;-)
   I didn't get my driver's license until I was 26 and I used to
 hitchhike a lot.  I haven't done it in years, though.  I gave it up
 after a couple of bad experiences.  Hmmm... maybe it is time to get
 the old thumb out of retirement.
