See Ron Curren of Hittin The Note’s photos of a  Macon Allman Brothers expedition   to visit Kirk  West.     The Big House is  a must visit for Allman fans.

An homage – David Michaelson above, L-R below – MysterE, Bill Hardin, Ron Currens and Joe Bell from Hittin the Note.

In 1970 Dekalb County’s Columbia High School signed a contract for a local band some students said were amazing.  Soon after their live album ‘At Fillmore East’ made them super stars. The Allman Brothers showed their stuff and honored the contract to play their prom in the gym.  A prom to brag about for years. Dekalb Police had to call in Ga State troopers to help handle gate crashers. Mark (David) Chapman was a 9th grader; later he would gain infamy by killing John Lennon.

Thanks to  David Turner for improved print of Duane ‘s first cover shot for The Bird. 

Love that STP shirt (save the park, stop the police)
