Damn. That sucks!

It does.... One of the "fab four" of Miami Vice fame.


In the pilot episode of the old Miami Vice TV series, Tubbs is still chillin' on Crocket's sailboat (The "St. Vitas Dance"), while waiting for the big deal with Calderone to go down. While doing so and getting around Elvis (Crocket's aligator :D), Tubbs is rummaging through Crocket's music collection (cassettes, still at that time). Much to his dismay, he finds these four musicians, primarily:


1) Waylon Jennings
2) George Jones
3) Jimmy Buffet
4) Dickey Betts


Sonny Crocket was definitely into SOFL music.....

The road is winding down

sorry to hear. hope he make sit. Love his music. He MADE ABB a better band than the original (IMHO)

He IS one of the originals..he was actually already in the band before Gregg, before they moved from Jacksonville to Macon

live and learn. thanks. he made the band humm. it really hurt when he "left" Love Derek and Warren.. but they are not Dickie.
went through the same kind of thing with the Grateful dead--TWICE-- Keith and Brent.... the band was MUCH different before and after them

That’s a good step for his recovery.
