      I'd be willing to wager that 95 percent of all Jessicas and Melissas born after 1971 were named after ABB songs. I know when I was in elementary school back in the mid 70s there were so many Melissa's. I got really sick of that name.

      I don't care if it was called "Jessica", because he was describing his afternoon bowl movement.!! It's a fantastically detailed, EXTREMELY difficult, piece of 🎸 gee-tarr jamming songs of the 1970's...oh and my beautiful wife's name is Jessica, so that might have contributed a "little" to my love for the song. I mean it's so intricate. Being a drummer & guitar player, I'm afraid to TOUCH this..ABB ROCKS..!

      We saw them at RFK, in DC in 1973. One of their 1st gigs after the demise of Duane, & just before the release of Brothers & Sisters. They opened with Jessica, a Park Security Gaurd on the speaker tower, took his hat off, down to his side, after Dicky's riff. I got chills listening to this recorded rendition.

    Written by guitarist Dickey Betts, the song is a tribute to Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, in that it was designed to be played using only two fingers on the left hand. Django had suffered damage to his left hand in a fire at his home when a very young man, losing nearly all use of his two small fingers on that hand, but went on despite that to become one of the world's greatest and most influential guitarists.
    Betts wrote the majority of "Jessica" at the band's farm in Juliette, Georgia. He named it after his daughter, Jessica Betts, who was an infant when it was released. She had bounced along to the song's rhythm, and Betts attempted to capture her attitude with its melody. He invited fellow guitarist Les Dudek over to collaborate on it, and Dudek performed the bridge. Some accounts credit Dudek with the acoustic intro on the recording. The arrangement was crafted prior to recording, which took place at Capricorn Sound Studios in Macon, Georgia.
    Along with _'Jessica,'_ Zappa's _'Sexual Harassment in the Workplace'_ and _'Silver and Gold'_ by Quicksilver Messenger Service are among my favorite rock instrumentals.

Love it. Mountain Jam too, just incredible music that is The Allman Bothers! 🙌👏✌️

I had a friend whose father knew the Allman Brothers personally, he would smoke us out and tell us all these crazy stories about the band. He had a bunch of personal photos with the band members so I know he wasn't bullshitting! Now I live all the way across the states, in Seattle! Still love the band! Miss my high school friends.
