One helluva day! Really, really bad weather threw a monkey wrench into an otherwise well planned show. I was honored to have photographed the One For Woody benefit at the Roseland Ballroom, NYC, in September 2000 to honor the late Allman Brothers Band and Gov't Mule bassist Allen Woody. Last evening at the same venue, Another One For Woody was held near the ten-year anniversary of his passing. Since I was unable to attend, I featured several artists that have participated in one or another of those shows...miss you Woody, and miss that bad-ass bottom you laid down!
