sometimes it’s easy to forget that an interracial rock band, with long-haired freaks and bros with corn rows was not, I repeat, was not your everyday occurrence in these United States! I mean, Benny Goodman, the great clarinetist was one of the first band leaders to take black musicians on tour, but Charlie Christian was such an incredible player that he simply couldn’t be ignored. The message of the Allman Brothers band is, of course, about family, and so you have the two blood brothers in Gregg and Dwayne😙. but it’s bigger than just family it’s about all men are brothers, all men are brothers, and all women are sisters. If you wanna add another layer we are all children of the living God and that’s what makes us Brothers and Sisters. The cool thing is, you can leave the religious aspect out of it and the philosophy of how people learn to live in peace comes shining through.
Hell, the first person that, was asked to be in the band was black. That ought to tell ya something right there. The Brothers didn't see color. They just played music.
