Walk along the river, sweet lullaby
They just keep on flowin', they don't worry 'bout where it's goin', no, no
Don't fly, mister blue bird, I'm just walkin' down the road
Early morning sunshine, tell me all I need to know, oh
You're my blue sky, you're my sunny day
Lord, you know it makes me high
When you turn your love my way
Turn your love my way, yeah
Dickey Betts, Allman Brothers Band Singer-Guitarist, Dead at 80

I saw that on the news today, sad. That's a wonderful thing to have part of your name to always honor his memory now. Thanks for joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Great story about how you got your name! Your Mum is a real music aficionado.
