Macon, ga gets a bit too much credit for the allman bros.
Jacksonville is where they cut their teeth.

macon should receive almost no credit, in all honesty ... their musical genesis was in n'ville, and they grew up in florida ...

I used to live in Warner Robins.
Macon is like the Monroe of Georgia.
