Short story:
The Allman Joys, later to become the Allman Brothers Band, play the first of three nights at The Retinal Circus, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Full article:
Gregg Allman : After I got out of high school in '65 we had a band called the Allman Joys. We did what you call the chitterlin' circuit. You know, Mobile, Alabama, at the Stork Club. We worked like seven nights a week, six sets a night, 45 minutes a set....We recorded one 45, recorded it at Bradley's Barn in Nashville, which is now burnt down.
The song was Spoonful by Willie Dixon, and I sang it. It was a terrible recording. Later Duane and I met up with Johnny Sandlin, Paul Hornsby, and Pete Carr.....{After renaming themselves Almanac, Bill McEuen, the older brother of Johnny McEuen of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band... made a proposition to take us out to LA. I said, "No, let's don't go." And Duane (Allman) said, "Yeah, let's go and do it!" And so we went, and they came up with the name Hour Glass.
