Greg Allman Battles HepC Cancels 15 shows

Time catches up to all of us.....just an FYI in case anybody was planning to go.  He must be in pretty sad shape. Don't know if he's treating currently or is getting worse.


Allman Brothers cancel annual NYC shows
Beacon concerts pushed to '09 as Greg Allman recovers from hepatitis C

NEW YORK - The Allman Brothers Band has canceled its annual run of performances at the Beacon Theatre as founding member Gregg Allman continues to recover from hepatitis C.

The band had been scheduled to play 15 sold-out shows at the Beacon — an annual run of concerts that draws people from all over the country who pay several hundred dollars for tickets to see the blues-rock legends.

The band usually plays in March but previously said it was postponing those shows until the fall while Allman recovered from hepatitis C, a blood-borne disease that can lead to cirrhosis of the liver or liver cancer.

On Friday, the Allman Brothers Band announced on its Web site that the shows would be rescheduled for early 2009, the 40th anniversary of its founding.

“New York’s a second home to us,” Allman, 60, said in a statement. “We love playing there and are as disappointed as anybody not to be able to get there this time.”

Eventually they will all have to come out of the woodworks, won't they?  If he says he is "recovering" from hep C, he must be treating, yes??  Hope he goes public with it.  Sorry he is having a bad time, but at least he says recovering, not dieing from.

Time do catch up, yes it does!

Hi Meki,
I sent a singing Easter card to all my sisters and one of them said" Do you know what happens to you if you eat too much Easter cANDY?"

yOU OPEN THE CARD AND IT SAYS, hA hA, tHIS WAS A TRICK QUESTION, tHERE'S NO SUCH thing as too much Easter candy!  And the son it sang..............  

You guessed it "I Want Candy".  My Br. in law called me up laughing when he opened the card.  

It's sooo cool when stuff like that works out.  My Br.-I-L, it a total Penut M&M junkie, He doesn't drink, smoke or take any drugs not prescribed to him.  

I got him 2 of the 46oz. Bags of them, while I was there, and he hid 'em so my sister, who's dieting wouldn't find 'em, (or maybe he just didn't wanna share?

So, I guess I could sing to Greg Allman, "Heppie" trails to you, until we meet again!!!!

Yes, I know how awful I am, snicker, snicker tee hee. Hugs, Ant B
