    I guess James Taylor moved up the list of best singers by 1 spot.

    I see he will be burried alongside Duane in Macon. Most fitting of resting places.

    In The Big House museum in Macon is a pool table she gave him when they were married. If you ever get too middle Georgia....visit the museum and cemetery. A great way to spend a day.

    @northGAcock Very much agree.  The Big House museum is quite the experience.  They have done an amazing job with the place.  My very first trip there I was walking around the grounds and Revival was pumping through the outdoor speakers.  It was quite a memorable and emotional trip.
    Need to go back soon.  Still haven't made it to Rose Hill or the H&H Restaurant.

    Funny story about H&H. My buddy and I went there. There was only maybe 5-6 items on the menu. I ordered a beef rib, and was told it was not ready. The waitress asked if I wanted fried chicken or fried fish (my only options). We enjoyed the chicken and collards...and got ready to pay. You actually walk into the kitchen, and pay not 3 feet from the fryers. When we walked in the museum, they immediately said...." so you had lunch at H&H. Our shirts smelled like the grease from lunch. It's a dead give away. 

    As for Rose Hill, we found Duane and Barry's grave easy to find. Elizabeth Reeds was a bit of a challenge.....but a great spot. You could easily see the band chillin there. Look forward to a return at some point in the future to pay my respects (and thanks) to Gregg. Rock on all.
