See A Signed ‘Thank You’ Note To WBLM From Gregg Allman

The other day, I was pawing through one of my desk drawers searching for something to write with. I didn't find a pen, but I did come across a real treasure. This is a personal note from Gregg Allman sent to legendary WBLM air personality José Diaz. It was written about 34 years ago.

The type-written 'Thank-You' message was in response to the Blimp's support of the Gregg Allman Band album, "I'm No Angel". The note closes with "Kindest regards" and is hand-signed by the man, himself.

Dear Jose,

I wanted to personally thank you and your staff for your help in making The Gregg Allman Band album "I'm No Angel" a success. We will be recording again at year end for release next spring.

 

In the meantime, I would appreciate your  additional support in continuing to feature the tracks the work for you.

 

Kindest regards, (signed Gregg Allman)
