CANDLELIT CHRONICLES: HISTORIC HAUNTS

April 26 120 word count

in several, but not all of the Southern States, today is Confederate Memorial Day.


Today also would have been my 36th wedding anniversary.





In Macon, Georgia, Daughters of the Confederacy and others will gather to honor the fallen Confederate dead at Rose Hill Cemetery, where singer Duane Allman, who died in the 1970's in a motorcycle accident on a rainy Georgia road, is also interred.





Perhaps fittingly, the remaining members of the Allman Brothers Band have returned to Macon this past weekend to commemmorate the Grand Opening of their museum, at the house they used to inhabit, in the city where they learned their musical craft and where they lost two founding members, Duane, and Berry Oakley, in motorcycle accidents.
