Best wishes during the greatly deserved hiatus! I would like to recommend putting out a DVD of your performances! We love to watch the video of Clapton's Blues Festival in Chicago. A whole DVD of DTB and Susan would be so cool!!!
I would also like to share a story about this awesome band. I'm an oncology nurse who works with patients who have Grade 4 brain tumors (the worst prognosis). One patient was a young man of 20 who had had several treatments and the tumor continued to grow. We always shared our love of music - he was a great guitar player himself, loving blues the most. He told me that DTB was coming to town and we should check them out. I knew who they were, but had not seen them live. We got tickets with some friends and over the next couple of months, his condition started deteriorating. I contacted the venue and the band hoping for maybe a T-shirt. I was told that we could come for the sound check before the concert and meet the band (band suggested this knowing how hard it would be for the young man in a wheelchair to sit through the concert!). The venue also pulled out the stops. When we got there, we listened to the sound check (so amazing!) and then the band came and spent quite a bit of time with the patient, his dad and sister, his friends and their families, his oncologist (65 yrs old!) and other nurses/friends/familes. They took pictures of him holding Derek's guitar and Derek gave him the slide he was using. Albums/CD's/Shirts were signed by all band members. Derek kneeled by his wheelchair and talked to him for a while, too... Not a dry eye among us... The patient was not able to stay for the concert, but Derek told him he was going to get the Allmans to sign a guitar and have it sent to him. He received it less than a week later.... and passed away about 2 weeks after the concert., a few days before his 21st birthday. At the service, the guitar was displayed up front.... Thank you all again and again...
