Obscure stories of music people

I got this one today from my uncle who grew up in Macon next door Twiggs Lyndon, the Allman Brothers road manager who killed the club owner in New York.

I can't remember how old I was - very young. I was walking in the back of the house near the cinderblock wall (if you remember the scene from your grandparent's house). At least one of my brothers was there but I can't remember whom. A Lyndon boy with dark hair had brought a snake. He looked at me and said, "Do you wanna see its heart beat?" (Or something to that effect). I don't know if I answered, but he whipped out a knife and I believe he put the blade in the snake's mouth like a bit in a horse's mouth. I think he held the mouth closed and with a single movement from top to bottom sliced the snake in half lengthwise for about a foot. The heart was underneath a dark pink membrane beating "normally. Oh also I want [redacted] recipe for the mushroom gravy(OMG)!!!
