Happy "Humpday" my RP Brothers and Sisters!!!
It is after Noontime in the Greater Boston Area and the weekend is now not so far away...and for this Wednesday Noontime Music Interlude, I have chosen a great Country Blues song by The Allman Brothers Band, entitled "Jessica"!!! This is purely instrumental, but it will blow your socks off.... Very upbeat to say the least! It will really get you going as we accelerate toward our Next Summer Weekend!!!
Enjoy, full screen and sound up for an exciting performance!!!

Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the music video of The Allman Brothers Band performing the instrumental Jessica on 1/16/1982 at the University Of Florida Bandshell at Flavet Field Gainesville.
Jessica written by Dickey Betts
Song background "Jessica is the name of Allman Brothers guitarist Dickey Betts' daughter. He was working on this song when she crawled into the room and inspired him. Jessica Betts was born May 14, 1972 - she was one year old when her dad wrote the song.
Betts had Jessica with Sandy Bluesky, who also inspired one of his famous Allman Borthers songs: he wrote "Blue Sky" for her. The couple were married in 1973.
This is an instrumental song that had little chart success, but has endured as a staple of classic rock radio and a favorite among fans.
This is the theme song to the UK TV show Top Gear.
Chuck Leavell played piano on this. He was brought in after Duane Allman died to provide another lead instrument. It created a different sound, as the Allmans now had 1 piano and 1 guitar rather than 2 guitars.
Betts was trying to compose a song that could be played on the guitar with two fingers in the style of Django Reinhardt, a 1930s Jazz musician Betts admired who lost two fingers in a fire."
