RIP to Allman Brothers founding member and drummer, Butch Trucks. The Brothers at Fillmore East was the main reason why I started playing guitar, and later 'bucker equipped axes like our beloved PRSs'. Even Dickey and Warren played PRS from time to time.
 
Like the late, great Richie Haywood of Little Feat, Trucks was one of the most highly underrated rock drummers of this era: a true power driving force of their music.
 
I was really saddened when I read about Butch Trucks' passing yesterday morning. Butch was the engineer of the ABB's trademark "freight train" groove, a pro's pro, and by all accounts an absolute gem of a human being. Keeping him, his wife and family in my prayers.
