Jaimoe is paying tribute to his fallen musical brother. The last living co-founder of the Allman Brothers recently honored the late Dickey Betts with a rare musical performance.

Jaimoe appeared alongside the Friends of the Brothers on April 27 at the SHU Community Theatre in Fairfield, Connecticut. It was a special one-ff performance designed to celebrate Betts' life and legacy. "I enjoyed playing music with Richard for 50 years," He said of the occasion, "We got to send the old boy off right. Rest in peace to my old friend."
The Friends of the Brothers has ties to the Allman Brothers and their deep history. All of the musicians previously played with Allman Brothers members over the years. Andy Aledort played for over a decade with Dickey Betts & Southern Star. Junior Mack joined the now-dormant Jaimoe's Jasssz Band in 2006. Finally, Alan Paul is the author of two authorized biographies on the Allman Brothers.
It's the first time that Jaimoe has played since last July
Poignant and inspiring having Jaimoe sit in for the @alpaul and Friends of the Brothers Dickey Betts send off last night. Photos from the slide show behind the band were a reminder of how young they all were back when it started. pic.twitter.com/xWPCMeu1GW
