The Hurricanes Band - with guest artist "Dangerous" Dan Toler on guitar, playing the classic blues song, "Statesboro Blues" in the style of the Allman Brothers Band. Since the recording of this video, "Dangerous" Dan Toler has been diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease. Please visit the website constructed for "Dangerous" Dan Toler to help educate others about this crippling disease and also as a forum for Dan's Friends, Family and Fans to help out if they can, as this is going to place a tremendous financial burden upon Dan Toler and his Family. The website is frayerproductions.com/helpdantoler - Thank-You! This is a remix of a previously posted version of Statesboro Blues as performed by the Hurricanes Band at the Five O'clock Club. The original posting of Statesboro Blues had several freeze frame glitches during Mike Hensley's keyboard solo that were very distracting for sure. I now have some good video editing software that enabled me to cut out the bad sections in this version of Statesboro Blues and to splice everything back together almost seamlessly, making this version of Statesboro Blues a better mix. If you listen to the keyboard solo in this rendition of Statesboro Blues, you'll hear a transition that has a bit of a jump to it, but it is pretty close to being in time. Anyway, it is sure better than the old 3 second frame lock-up right in the middle of the solo. Statesboro Blues was considered the signature song of the late, great Duane Allman. Statesboro Blues is an old Blues Standard and has been recorded by many musicians over the years.
The Hurricanes Band is:
Matthew Greenwood - Slide Guitar & Vocals
Mike Hensley - Keyboards
Gyll Perkins - Vocals & Percussion
Matt Peterson - Drums
Dan Toler - Guitar
Greg Vourhees - Bass Guitar
-A special thanks to Michael Jacobs for showing up with his video camera and doing a great job of recording this video of Statesboro Blues and all the other songs we played this night!
-A special thanks also to 'Dangerous' Dan Toler for sitting in with the Hurricanes and bring his immense talent to the show and spicing up Statesboro Blues.

![ALLMAN BROTHERS TRIBUTE : In Memory of Duane & Gregg Allman : A Brothers Dream [SkyDog & BaBro]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ORbRhf3wquc/mqdefault.jpg "ALLMAN BROTHERS TRIBUTE : In Memory of Duane & Gregg Allman : A Brothers Dream [SkyDog & BaBro]
‘A Brother’s Dream’ is a compilation of direct, & referenced, musical motifs from the early days of brothers, Duane & Gregg Allman, recording careers, dating back to 1969. This song is intended to honor the brother’s incredible contributions to the musical world and to the enduring legacy that they helped put into motion. This song is in memory of Duane & Gregg Allman, but also by extension, a tribute to the entire Allman Brothers Band Family.
I was fourteen years old in 1969. I’ll never forget the day that we were hanging out in the old Siesta Key Village when someone started talking about this new band that had just released their first album, and that the band had ties to our town of Sarasota, FL. We went over to someone’s house that had the album, self-titled, The Allman Brothers Band, and I was captivated immediately. It was a sound that I had never heard, and I was instantly hooked. I was fortunate enough to hear them couple of times in Sarasota, in 69 & 70, once at Robarts Sports Arena, and once at The Municipal Auditorium where BB King opened for the Brothers. The energy and power these guys were able to generate was otherworldly.
I believe that there are at least 10 vignettes or motifs referenced in this song. One of the riffs pre-dates the ABB era. Duane Allman has always been one of my top tier guitar heroes, and his brother, Gregg Allman an equal inspiration for his expressive song writing, and for his mirror-to-the-soul vocals. I never knew Duane Allman personally, but through his music, and everything that I have read about him, he was an intense, and intensely passionate and happy, man. He lived life with extreme gusto and verve, and with a ‘devil-may-care’ attitude. It was his vision, his dream, to create the band that became the Allman Brothers Band, and with this song ‘A Brother’s Dream’, I hope to capture a little of that effervescent spirit and indomitable energy that was Duane Allman.
If inspired to do so, please consider giving a donation to the Big House Museum to help keep that unique shrine to the original Allman Brothers Band alive for generations to come. https://thebighousemuseum.com/donate/
