Love me the Allman Brothers in all their various incarnations, especially their many instrumentals and long instrumental interludes... I first discovered them via Enlightened Rogues iirc, Pegasus and Can't Take it With You.

Feels like a song for Friday.

Saw them every year for a long time at the Beacon in NYC

To reference another Delta blues jam resurrected in the late 60s/early 70s, it all depends on how well the levies hold throughout this upcoming week. VIX puts are starting to look juicy ngl. Almost there...

I love you sharing the music! I spent a year learning guitar from those old recording in my early 20s, I loved how different they sounded from everything else I had heard. I was lucky enough to see David 'Honeyboy' Edwards in Chicago in 2009 and was awestruck to hear music from the guy who was with Robert Johnson the night he died. Keep bringing music into it!

LOL. Putting it in the queue!! Might be "VIXilator Blues" as a take on the Rolling Stones song. There's a great cover by Gatemouth Brown on "All Blues'd Up: Songs of the Rolling Stones"

If you want to ponder over an interesting thought. UVIX is about to reverse split on the 15th of this month. VXX reverse split right before the August 5 volatility event.

I think you may be reading too much into the timing of the VXX reverse split. I would not project any market impact for the UVIX change.

Maybe, however that’s what makes the markets fun. it’s crazy until it’s not.
