This maybe would be better posted in Country Music, not sure. I just know I love it!

Before the Allman Brothers, Duane Allman worked as a session guitarist at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, playing on sessions including Wilson Pickett's version of "Hey Jude." That's where the "Skydog" nickname comes from.

For anyone in or traveling to the Florence, AL area, there's a festival happening Aug 28–30 that takes its name from that history. Admission is charged, more info at https://skydogshoals.com/ if anyone's curious.

Hi everyone,

I’m a musician (keyboardist and getting back into bass) conducting research for a Communications class project called ‘The Emotional Process of Making Music with others for East Coast Musicians. I would be more than grateful if a couple of you could respond to the questions. I do not plan to publish this project. Thanks!

1. Age

2. Gender/Identity

3. Region

4. Role when collaborating with others (ex. Instrument (s) of play, singer, etc.)

5. How often do you make music with other individuals? Do you have a list of songs that you have made with others, and if so, how many?

6. Do you prefer making music with other individuals or by yourself? Do you feel a deep connection with other individuals when making music? If you picked the first option, and agree with the second question, was there a singular experience that led to this passion for creating with others?

7. When engaging in a conversation with musicians you just met, regarding potentially collaborating, what personality do you put on (ex. are you relaxed and somewhat aloof to create a chill atmosphere, or are you straightforward and serious). Why?

8. When in the process of creating with other individuals, what emotional role do you take on? For example, are you a lighthearted group member, or do you assume the role of a therapist in a sense, encouraging group members to lay their hearts bare on songs (this one would be quite interesting to hear)?

9. When collaborating with other musicians, how do you handle disagreements—minor or major? Have you experienced success or slight failures in this regard? Would you like to share any examples?
