It was memorable for many reasons, including the fact that it was the only media appearance I’ve ever done where you could watch the sales click up as it went on. Watching it now and I am struck by how low energy I was in this early hour and also how blase I was. I’d like a redo, but better than being nervous or blabbery. I think. This was i the middle of the March, 2014 Beacon run that was supposed to be the band’s last.
Thanks to Ronny the Fretsman for recording this and sharing it with me a decade later!
The paperback edition of my fourth book, Brothers and Sisters: the Allman Brothers Band and The Album That Defined The 70s, was recently released by St. Martin’s Press. It was the third consecutive one to debut in the New York Times Non-Fiction Hardcover Bestsellers List, following Texas Flood: The Inside Story of Stevie Ray Vaughan and One Way Out: The Inside History of the Allman Brothers Band. My first book, Big in China: My Unlikely Adventures Raising a Family, Playing the Blues and Becoming a Star in Beijing, about my experiences raising a family in Beijing and touring China with a popular original blues band, was optioned for a movie by Ivan Reitman’s Montecito Productions. I am also a guitarist and singer with two bands, Big in China and Friends of the Brothers, the premier celebration of the Allman Brothers Band.
