Great story, nice pictures.

Listen to Tedeschi Trucks Band "Layla Revisited" concert album.

The did the entire album without announcing it in advance during a show in late 2019. Derek Trucks is the spiritual successor of Duane in so many ways. I saw him a couple times with the Allman Brothers, but he has continued to get better since then. Trey Anastasio and Doyle Bramhall joined in for the concert too.

It's really that good.

Enjoyed that thank you. I’ve seen this band several times and will again next July in Saratoga NY at SPAC. They are as good as it gets!

I was supposed to be introduced to him once at Buddy Guy's Legends in Chicago many years ago. Unfortunately he never showed up that night.

The whole Layla album is cool!

Also he is the guitar on the Beatle's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".
