   Was thinking about Rush Up today with the passing of Gregg Allman. I was in a   
   band called The Soul Syndicate later known as Our Brothers Keeper on Columbia   
   Records.  In early summer of 1970 our band and the ABB were double booked one   
   night at Rush Up. We    
   played alternating sets. We used their gear since it was already setup. On one   
   set one of their drummers, I think Butch Trucks didn't feel good. They asked   
   if I wanted to sit in. I did although I didn't know their songs. I just   
   followed the other drummer.   
    I wasn't used to playing long blusey songs but got through it. At the time it   
   didn't mean much. I was a young kid. I didn't know who they were. They hadn't   
   hit big yet. In later years I realized what a cool experience that was. One of   
   my fond life    
   memories.
