Glad to hear that Derek Trucks in following his family’s tradition; apparently didn’t adopt his uncle Butch’s attitude, and puts all his energy into his music and family.

Butch, as talented and educated as he is (studied music at FSU), was one of the two more truculent members of the ABB, and was difficult to deal with.

Suspect that Dwayne Allman would have enjoyed Derek’s tone and slide guitar technique.

Yes, uncle. Brain fart there, as is the case when getting old. : )

Still, I don’t think Derek gets enough credit for his playing but he is a pretty laid back guy, very calm. Susan is very influential in his life.
