Overview | Memorabilia

Sure, we’ve
got the hard stuff. The photos. The posters. The film footage.
The audio tapes. The gold records, the awards,
the instruments. The countless odds and ends of meaningful memorabilia.
Even the rooms where they slept and ate and fought and made love
and made music and made babies and made history.
But not all of what’s
here is tangible. Some of it’s
just in the air. It’s a spirit, a vibe. Gregg wrote “Please
Call Home” here, and “Ain’t Wastin’ Time
No More,” and “Leave My Blues at Home,” and “Midnight
Rider.” The band worked up “Hot ‘Lanta’” while
they were rehearsing here one night. Dickey Betts wrote “Ramblin’ Man” in
the kitchen and “Blue Sky” as he looked out the living
room window.
So come for the photos and the film and the stuff,
but come for the magic, too. For the vibe. For the memory of
the Brotherhood.
It’s
here in The Big House archives—and in our rooms and our
floorboards and our front porch steps, in our air and our sky
and our water.
It’s
all right here. |
