MACON, Ga. — Reese Wynans, Richard “Hombre” Price and Monty Young of The Second Coming will share their memories of Duane “Skydog” Allman in a free, live conversation at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 21 at Capricorn Sound Studios, 540 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Big House historian John Lynskey will moderate the evening, the night before the band performs at Skydog 80 at Carolyn Crayton Park.
The three played alongside Allman both before and after the Allman Brothers Band formed. They will talk about those early days and the musicians still carrying that music forward. Of the 11 musicians who played in The Load and the first Second Coming, only four are still living, and three of them will be at the event.
The band recently released Evaluations. They recorded the album in March 1969 during the Jacksonville Jams period, and it was nearly lost. Guitarist, producer and songwriter Dave Perkins and drummer Glenn Harrell will join them for the Nov. 22 performance. Details are at skydogmacon.com.
Admission to the Nov. 21 conversation is free. Guests are asked to bring canned goods and personal care items for neighbors in need across Macon.
