On meeting Rock Royalty
by Dominic O'Byrne •
Courtesy of my close buddy Tony Scott at Southeast Radio in Wexford, I just did my first radio interview – with Gregg Allman! Just thinking how completely off the radar it would have been if you told me 20 years ago when I first heard Ramblin’ Man by the Allman Brothers Band that I’d be…
