Woody sure had some cool shit. The head of Steinberger asked me to put together an ad/promotion with Woody/Allmans back in the 90s and I had to run some ideas by Allen...called the hotel where he was at and ended up waking Greg Allman, who answered the phone (sounded dead.) Funny.

A friend who I've known for 30 years has managed the Allman Bros since the 80s.

I'm a big  Woody fan. I emailed Walter Carter at Gruhns a few years ago with questions about the Woody bass. Woody used to work at Gruhns. The Epi Woody bass was ultimately inspired by the Mando Bass that Gibson made for him. Which is kind of stating the obvious a bit when you look at them together.

He is doing a good job then, as they more or less resurrected themselves in that period.  The whole Allman and Woman period was disturbing.

Some people are just jealeous here!  :mrgreen: Have mercy on him, he was in love ...



Cher sure ain't holding back on that track, drowning out pure (poor?) Greg with her characteristic hollering. She sure wasn't overawed. More overbearing really. Still, Ken liked it at the time and now doesn't 'fess up.

Got to have a long chat with Allen in the 90s when Govt.Mule and my band were taping a TV show in Austin. We talked Hofners, he loved mine.
