the next generation of Southern Rock

My days of hanging out with musicians has long been over.  Wouldn't even recognize most of today's performers. But I did attend a music benefit yesterday for an old acquaintance, a musician and good guy.

Between bands, I was intrigued by a young mother and child with their restless behaviour. And without even realizing it, the next band started up real loud, right behind me.  Holding her son the best she could, that boy was headed straight for his dad - the one behind the screaming mic and the loud guitar.

Meet Declan Oakley, the latest grandson of the long departed Berry Oakley of the Allman Bros. Band. Obviously he's on the road to become that third generation southern rock musician.
