Chet Atkins all of life- not so much stones but— Alan Parsons, 10cc you bet,for their advanced recording and writing. Allman Brothers from way back in FL
They played the pier in Daytona, as the Allman Joys (and both Greg and Duane were born in Nashville) then UF campus- but the dope (heroin) killed Duane very early. ATL: Joe South and of course the Atlanta Rhythm Section.

Garth from Oklahoma, and started with and still has a large oil trust fund inheritance he tries to disguise- acting and maybe being nuts (Townes van Zandt-Texas oil money, and a personal disaster alkie) but everyone knows the difference between an “act” and who someone really is- with rare exceptions in history the two were the same- Hank Williams (human disaster but wrote anguish of his times), and of course The Delmore Brothers- quite real Americana. Alton’s book- “Truth is Stranger than Publicity” is a gritty story of life on the road in the 1920’s.

Duane was killed in a motor cycle accident, but drugs may have finally gotten him had he lived.
