“And when it’s time for leaving, I hope you understand…”

I watched a live in concert video from 1972, Dicky Betts out front of a band missing their band leader and trying to make a living and doing the best they can. Pretty brave out there in front of crowds all tuned up on Duane Allman’s incredible “Live at Fillmore East.”

And if things went awry many years later like things do, there is no reducing his contribution, especially in those tenuous days, to a band that toured and recorded successfully for another 40 years and that many consider America’s greatest. RIP
