I met Gregg Allman in the mid-70s. It was 75 or 76. He opened the door and greeted me when my boyfriend and I arrived at a friend's house in Macon. I had no idea that he would be there, but my boyfriend did. He and his childhood friend had pre-arranged for Gregg to open the door when we arrived. I nearly had a heart attack! I remember his piercing blue eyes, fur trimmed jacket and snakeskin boots. A couple weeks later, I was driving to work and some guy kept pulling up alongside my car and staring at me from a white van. When I was about to exit, I took a quick look and it was Gregg. He pointed at me, laughed and waved. What are the chances he would happen to pass me on 285? I named my first born daughter Melissa as Sweet Melissa is one of my favorite songs. I still live in Atlanta, in Roswell now. The Allman Brothers were one of the best groups there ever was.

That was awesome !! That was so sweet to take your beautiful mom there to he Allman Brothers Museum . You could tell that she really enjoyed that with you Jordan !! I love it !!

How wonderful that your mother got to experience this with you.....great vlog!

I live in middle Ga. all my life. The Allman brothers are like Gods to southern rock. Been to the big house and the grave sites many a time. Loved the songs Whipping post, and Blue sky, Elisabeth Reed.

Hi Jordan and Mom! This is the first good look I've had of your Mom. She looks younger than I had expected, and very beautiful. She looks so cute being so excited about being there, but my guess is most of the happy is from being with you! To Mom, thank you for raising such a nice son. Jordan is very kind, considerate, and respectful at the various sensitive site and vlogs he does. Hope you both enjoyed your road trip and precious time together. Safe travels home.

I love your mom’s personality. And she is such a pretty lady too. Thanks for sharing her with us. Great video 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Another great video. Years ago...While living in Nashville..I met Gregg Allman. He also came into my store asking for directions...just like Jake "the snake" Roberts. I have forgotten about meeting both of these guys until this videos...thanks for the reminders...lol

Wow, that’s your best vlog yet , incredible and quite moving actually, Allman Bros. Band will live forever as the greatest southern rock band ever !! Outstanding JTL ❤️ 🎸

My hubby LOVES the Allman Brothers band. He got me started on their great everlasting & unforgettable music!! 🎸

Good to see your mom in the vlog. Loved how you both had matching glasses! The Allman Brothers are really good! It's great you can tour it!

I can't tell you how excited I was to find that you toured The Big House! My dad raised me on The Allman Brothers Band, they're my all time favorite. I saw them in concert every year from 1991 until 2014 when they retired, and I still have every single concert tee shirt that we bought, which was every year lol! I've also seen Govt Mule and Tedeschi Trucks Band many times over. Fun fact; Kirk West was the unofficial/official photographer for ABB for many many years, hence why there's so much memorabilia there. 🍑🍄✌️❤️

Wow that’s so cool! I told you my dad was in Waylon’s band in the 60s and early 70s. He also hung out and played with the Allman Brothers band. He worked on a few of Dickie’s solo albums during the 70s. Bonnie Bramlet was my god-mother growing up. I still see her from time to time whenever I go back to Nashville. She is such a cool lady with awesome stories from the 60s. She always sings backup vocals on my dad’s albums. Her voice is still as raspy and raw as it was way back in the day......

Learned a lot about the Allman Brothers. Midnight Rider is one of my favorites! Thanks for a very informative, great vlog!!

Very well done! Thanks for taking the time to make this video with your wonderful cool mom! I'm 67 now and have loved the ABB all my life! The Coricidin cold medicine bottle story was told my Greg years ago. Duane had a bad cold and Greg took him a bottle of Coricidin. Turns out, it was then Duane experimented and taught himself to use that bottle for his awesome slide work!

That Gretsch bass drum head that you can see at the top of the stairs at the 12:21 mark belonged to Jaimoe and was given to Gary Forkum, former owner of Fork's Drum Closet in Nashville TN by Jaimoe himself... After several years of it hanging in his office at the drum shop, Gary donated it to The Big House for everyone to enjoy..

Your mom is adorable! This museum is packed with stuff!!

I'm from Germany and I wanna visit this museum one day. Love this band so much

Such a good son your mom is so pretty thank you for sharing that wonderful time I graduated from high school in 1973 brings back a bunch of good memories

💋Great vlog! Thanks for this! Awesome vlogging with your Mom. Been looking forward to these. Blessings. Love and Light 💖Carli

What a moving video my friend. I am a long time ABB fan, thank you my friend.

I'm glad that you and your mom experienced this together. For me it took me back to the 70s when I was and felt young. Their music back then w as very popular. I remember when Cher and Greg got married and the regrets she had. Those days were much simpler. Yes we had problems but it was a simpler way of life. Thanks for the memories

So happy that your mom got to go to this amazing place! Fantastic.

Thanks for sharing with your mom. What a great museum for a great band. Thanks for reading the new year's resolution letter from Dwayne Allman. Really nice of him. So glad Gregg gave his life to Jesus Christ of Nazareth before he left this world and into the next. John 3:16.

I'm so glad you and your mom experienced this trip together. What a special and well done vlog! 😎💙💙

this was so awesome! Thanks for another great video. I got to meet Gregg after a show about 8 years ago and he was such a nice humble guy (and at that time still put on a great show in a smaller venue!) Live records dont't get much better than the fillmore east record. I have to spotify it tomorrow

What a lovely house, full of so much memorabilia and personal effects, wonderful for you to share one of your mums bucket list entries..Yay Boz Scaggs got a mention too (one of my favourites)...your mum has excellent taste. Thank you, I enjoyed this Vlog 👍.

Thank you mama Jordan you rock. I think we are close in age and I definitely too loved the Allman Brothers band also proud owner of all of there albums. Thanks Jordan best one ever.

MAN I LIVE IN GEORGIA AROUND THE AREA YES REAL SAD 2017 HE PASSED

The Allman Brothers Big House Museum should be on everyone's bucket list. The pool table, so cool ! Necklace was meant to be. H & H Soul Food WOW so much history.

thank you soooo much for making and posting this!

I was 18 in 73 and i from then thought Gregg was tge most drop dead gorgeous man and as years past i learned what a southern gentleman he was.I saw him live close up many times and i tear up every time i see any of his many times on TV to this day.I was thinking about going to see this museum house and put a rose on his gave just a couple of hours ago and then this comes up suggested.

Wow I loved that vlog! That was awesome!!! Yes they were one of my favorite bands back than. That was great that you got to take your Mom. 😊

Love seeing you and Mom in your matching glasses. You did a great job on this vlog. Looking forward to tomorrow.

I think someone's mom was in heaven. 😁. I learn something new everyday. Thanks Patti and Jordan

Great job Jordan!!! So glad your mom got to go with you. The necklace was the perfect gift for her. Thanks for taking us along!!

Awe! How cool that you shared this experience with your momma! I'll bet she's very proud of you. Thanks for another musical history lesson, Jordan :)

Jordan you have your mother’s smile 😃 Amazing vlog👍can’t wait for part 2‼️...Nancy

When it comes to your vlogs, Jordan, I have many favorites but I think this could be my very favorite one of all. Thank you so much for this!

Best vlog EVER!! It was good to meet your Mom. Like her, I’ve been a stone ABB fan since the early ‘70’s. The pilgrimage is on my bucket list, too!

Ahhhhhh, your Mom is so sweet! Love the excitement on her face. ☺ What a fun vlog! I didn't really know anything about The Allman Brothers until I watched this. Now I am intrigued. What a cool museum!

And the beat goes on! Great job Jordan! I will send a link to your ABB blogs to Donna, Dickey Betts wife to share with him. They live about 2 miles from me here in Sarasota. Jerry Wexler lived about 1 mile from me on Siesta Key @ Riegles Landing when he was alive. Super nice guy! One night I pulled up next to Ahmet Erteguin at a stoplight just over the bridge, after he had left visiting Jerry. His NY licence tag on his Mercedes said some abbreviation of Rock N Roll. He was special. Obviously you are visiting the crash site, and likely Rose Hill for the 3 graves, and Elizabeth Reed. Lots of their promo shots were taken there, and at the railroad tracks next to the river. The house that they shot the first album cover is just up the street, and the first house the lived in got tore down recently after being boarded up for years was right next door. The garage where they had the choppers, and jammed behind the house is still standing last I looked. Just south of town is Middle Georgia Raceway at Byron. It is where they had the 2nd Atlanta Pop Festival. Bigger than Woodstock. Hendrix, Spirit, Grand Funk, Johnny Winter, and much more, and of course ABB. There is a historical marker there now, and the raceway is there, but overgrown. Keep up the good work. If you are down here some day, I will see if Dickey will meet with you, and there are many historic ABB sites. Next month Graham Nash is selling Duane's 61 Les Paul SG at auction in Hollwood at Heritage. It was promised to a local guy, Gerry Groom, who followed the band kind of like a Dead Head in the early days. Duane had said if anything happened to him, he wanted Jerry to have it. When he died his widow sold it to Nash.

Loved the Allman Brothers tour....you make it so interesting😁

Great vlog Jordan, and cool to see your mom doing some traveling with you!

Excellent !Thank you Jordan and Patti🍄

With your mom was so great! Buying her the necklace was definitely the right choice now it has two sentimental meanings! Great vlog! As usual 😊👍

That was sooo cool!!! I was a little too young to be an Allman Brothers fan, but I did hear their music throughout my elementary years. Great tour of the BIG HOUSE! And keep up the great work, Jordan!

That was great. It was so wonderful to see you and your mom together. I could tell she was in awe of alot of the things. Thanks again Jordan and thanks to you Mom. Have fun and enjoy!

Best vlog on the Allman Brothers Band ever. Loved that you included your Mom’s reactions. She looked so happy! The necklace will be a wonderful memento from the trip! It was such a perfect gift! The Big House Museum is such a fantastic collection of memorabilia, including the house itself and the authentically refurnished rooms. H&H was the perfect place to eat. What an awesome atmosphere and the food looked delicious. Thank you both for this great tour! Great Vlog today!

My brother Louis is a lead guitar player in a Southern Rock band called Gone South and named two of his daughters Melissa and Jessica. I loved this Vlog♥️

Awesome video, even when the museum was a worn down victorian/edwardian home it had such a great feel as a home. I hope your mom felt all the energy that had been there - such a great time for the both of you! A once in a lifetime trip. Thanks for sharing this special time.

Great vlog! What a great experience for your mom and you to share!

What a great vlog! This is the stuff I just absolutely love, being a rock n roll lover. I know I'll probably never visit this place, so I appreciate your vlogs and love for music. I love you experienced this with your Mom. Thanks for all your vlogs, I always love getting your vlog notification everyday. I love The Allman Brothers Band and Midnight Rider is my favorite song from them. I love, I got to see the concert multiple times. Rock on Jordan!

What a special vlog for your mom and your lionhearts Jordan!

Loved this video, it was really helpful! I played Gregg Allman in a TV show and it's been one of my goals to visit Macon and pay my respects. Thank you! ✌️🍄

Very much enjoyed, thank you for the tour.Very exciting for your mum.

Fantastic vlog!! Your knowledge of rock history is massive....didn’t think you could top Tennessee and Texas but you did....and that’s great your Mom go to see it too.

Wanted to see ya Moms necklace...wow! Also theres more about the Coridan bottle...Gregg gave Dwayne his first bottle.. more behind this story than what I've said. Peace love and human kindness Kim-n-Carolina 🏖 my favorite Band who ever lived ! Allman bros band! So much more about Gregg to learn ...if not for Gregg there woulda been no band kept alive. Without his voice as well , the most soulful vocals ever!

Jordan, I'm so glad you took your Mom to do something on her bucket list. You could see how happy she was. I loved that house, too! Lots of memorabilia, for sure. Thanks again for your vlog.

Loved it. Thank you for sharing and all the hard work you put in your vlogs. Great experience with your mom. She will never forget it. GOD bless😎

What a fantastic vlog! This has been an great little series! Thank you! 😊

🦁 Jordan, very cute to see your Mother soo excited. Very nice vlog 👏👍👏 The beard looks good on you. Stay safe.

Awesome vlog! My first cd was a live bootleg of the allman brother band show and it got me hooked ever since

Gregg and Duane were born in Nashville .You gotta love the Allman Bros! Being from the South, thats what i was raised on. Marshall Tucker, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, CCR, The Outlaws, Molly Hatchet and later on The Black Crowes. I love em all. Awesome vlog Man! You did the South another SOLID. Thanks buddy! By the way Southern /Soul food is what food was meant to be.

Thank you Jordan for sharing all the cool places you go!!

So great to see you vlogging with your Mom, making memories! Now we know where some of your musical influence came from. Your Mom does look so Happy to be there!!!!

What a wonderful vlog!!! I am glad your Mom got to see that place, and we got to see what a good son you are. Just like my son. Allmans were always a favorite of mine as well. Thank you, Jordan.

Your two Macon, GA Allman Brothers videos are my favorites and I have watched them both several times...

I grew up with the Allman Brothers playing on our record player and their music blaring on our family trips. Years ago my cover band played some of their music but I don't know why we tried. Excellent vlog Jordan. The picture of Devon next to Gregg for a second I thought was you quite a resemblance. The guitars are fabulous! Your mother Jordan seems like such a fun person and she is very pretty too. Thank you for this vlog my parents will love it too.

I was hooked as soon as you said that the house had been restored into a museum! There is something really charming about this place and everything was so well thought out and displayed nicely. Eating at H & H was a must and the food looked amazing! You and your mom were adorable in your matching sunglasses and I'm so glad that you have this wonderful memory together. Can't wait to see more of the adventure tomorrow...

What a great vlog!! It’s so awesome that You and Your Mom got to enjoy a very special vlog together 😀 What a special gift of the guitar string necklace!! I’m sure she was thrilled 😊👍🏻❤️✌🏻

Awesome vlog thank you ! Jimi and The Allmans are the reason I am a musician. You never disappoint us Mr. Lee

I am never disappointed with your vlogs. Keep them coming. I hope you and your mom are having a great time.

Hi Jordan, great to have your mom vlogging aswell, your mom is one sweet lady. That cabinet with the costumes, guitars and memorabilia was just AMAZING! Your food looked really good in the Restaurant. Great vlog Jordan..

This museum tour is wonderful! The souvenir necklace for your Mother was a must. Way cool!

I really enjoyed this show. Tell your Mama I am Allman Bros. 2nd biggest fan. How sweet of you to take her there.

Hey Mom an Jordan !! Loved This Vlog It's Great But Also Sad..I Take It Mom Likes Greg Allman Lol lol

I enjoy all your vlogs, but this is the best one yet!

That food looked fantastic! Glad that house is so we'll cared for! Hope you and Mom had a blast and she'll wear that necklace!

Wow, I don’t know what to say, except what an exceptional vlog! I think this is one of the most interesting museums you’ve shown us. And the food made my mouth water! Both my parents were originally from the South, so I grew up on lots of good Southern cooking. Your mom makes a great addition to your vlogs, Jordan!
