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.
quote:
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)!!!

2 buddies and I jammed with Ronnie Turner in a bike shop in Dallas, around 1985, '86. He and I on bass, my friends on guitar and drums. Pretty cool dude.

How is that about "music people"?

Some time around ~2008 when I was at UGA I had a buddy from Jefferson. One night after the bars this guy invited some of our friend group to his buddy's place who just purchased the old Dial America building next to river mill. For those unfamiliar, this is a giant brick warehouse type building that was a revolving door of commercial businesses but at the time was vacant. Turns out it was brantley gilbert, who was not yet very well known at the time but he was buds with the guy I knew since they grew up together. So there's like 8 of us just hanging out in this giant empty open industrial buidling that brantley gilbert was living in at the time; imagine a giant office space open floor plan with just a bed in the center of it.

I know who Twiggs Lyndon is. The Allman Brothers are my favorite band.
Your blurb mentions a "Lyndon boy"
So, again, how is this about music?

That Lyndon boy was Twiggs Lyndon. My dad and his brothers grew up next door to the Lyndon family in Macon GA.

My uncle grew up in the same Beaumont hood as Johnny & Edgar Winter and went to HS with them. When they were young...12,13,14 yrs old, my uncle would go ride bikes around the hood at night with them.....They Only Come Out at Night. He said they used to mess around and do stupid kid stuff like most kids that age but the cops would sometimes stop them and mess with the Winter brothers since they looked so strange. As they got a little older the Winters didn't even want to ride around anymore since the cop encounters became more frequent and the harassment was more serious. So they started hanging at their house but the brothers would just play guitar the whole time and my uncle wasnt a musician so he stopped hanging out. But he got to listen to them play before most anyone knew who they were.
