ALLMAN BROTHERS MEMORABILIA?
Last Sunday, the church I grew up in, Riverside Avenue Christian Church in Riverside, had our centennial celebration. 100 years.
As we exited, I noticed they were digging up the sidewalk across the street. A few days later I returned to scan where the pavers had been removed.
In front of the house directly across the street was a marker. I had seen it there for several years but never ventured over to read it. But that day I stood in front of it and learned that house was where, in 1969, the legendary rock band, THE ALLMAN BROTHERS, had first gathered and started their journey to Rock stardom. I remembered hearing loud Rock music coming from the street back then. I was a senior in High School at the time.
This was exciting. I was a fan of their music and I wondered if any of the band had dropped anything interesting during their time there.
Well, I did find some relics that I believe may have been theirs. Who knows? Maybe Greg Allman’s DNA or fingerprints may still be on these.
