BDO is such a talented bassist, guitarist, vocalist & songwriter! & will be sadly missed in Allman Betts Band by us fans. I for one would love to see BDO release a solo album of his own originals! What a great voice he should definitely be the leader of his own band for a change. Perhaps he should consider it. I'm sure it's fun now touring with this all star band doing ABB & GD songs with experienced musicians of these songs. What a great bunch of musicians!
