Well another great musical influence of my life has passed away. Gregg Allman. I first really got into the Allman Brothers when my sister turned me on to Eat A Peach over the holidays in December of 1973. I was hooked. And through the music came that soulful voice of Gregg. From then on Gregg was a part of the soundtrack of my life and his songs remind me of many of the times I have spent. His songs like Mellissa, Dreams, Ain't Wastin Time No More, and Midnight Rider are all forever entwined into the memories of my life. And the soulful sound of his voice that could express such feeling. Gregg was one of the greats, and there are very few of them left. Thanks Gregg, I hope your music lives on. And Gregg "I Ain't Waistin Time No More", thanks for the advice.
Last Sunday morning, the sunshine felt like rain
The week before, they all seemed the same
With the help of God and true friends, I've come to realize
I still have two strong legs, and even wings to fly
The week before, they all seemed the same
With the help of God and true friends, I've come to realize
I still have two strong legs, and even wings to fly
So I, ain't a-wastin time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things
Well, Lord, Lord, Miss Sally, why all your cryin'?
Been around here three long days, lookin' like we're dyin'
Go step yourself outside, and look up at the stars above
And go on downtown, baby, find somebody to love
Been around here three long days, lookin' like we're dyin'
Go step yourself outside, and look up at the stars above
And go on downtown, baby, find somebody to love
Meanwhile, I ain't a-wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like pouring rain, and much faster things
'Cause time goes by like pouring rain, and much faster things
You don't need no gypsy to tell you why
Ya can't let one precious day to slip by
Well, look inside yourself, and if you don't see what you want
Maybe sometimes then ya don't
But, leave your mind alone and just get high
Ya can't let one precious day to slip by
Well, look inside yourself, and if you don't see what you want
Maybe sometimes then ya don't
But, leave your mind alone and just get high
Well, by and by, way after many years have gone
And all the war freaks die off, leavin' us alone
We'll raise our children, in the peaceful way we can
It's up to you and me brother
To try and try again
And all the war freaks die off, leavin' us alone
We'll raise our children, in the peaceful way we can
It's up to you and me brother
To try and try again
So, hear us now, we ain't wastin' time no more
'Cause time rolls by like hurricanes
Runnin' after the subway train
Don't forget the pourin' rain
'Cause time rolls by like hurricanes
Runnin' after the subway train
Don't forget the pourin' rain
GREGG L. ALLMAN
Here is one of the first concerts I posted on this blog way back when I first started. It is a great example of The Allman Brothers, from that time period. Hard to believe they lasted so long. Truly one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
