Kirk solidified my love for the band. When I got the call from him to join them at the gateway 2000 Xmas party they played. It was an experience. Alan your books are fantastic
I visited Macon in 2000 knowing the history of the band & had gotten the address sooooo I just knocked on the door of the Big House. Thinking I’d get told politely to leave I wasn’t… A woman answered & yelled up to someone “We have another Pilgrim!!!!” Then proceeded to let me in. It was Kristen who let me in, then came Kirk & showed me around & in doing so told me a few cool stories. They were both just warm & open with thier kindness & home. From there I said Thank u & went down to Rose Hill cemetery.

Kirk West - Happy Birthday! My favorite Gregg Allman pic is one you took- it is my phone background so I see it every day.
