John Stanley Killingsworth: Keeping Time, Coming Home - Stanley Killingsworth: The Beginning That wide-open grin, the blond crew cut, the little bow tie… it’s pure Dublin-boy innocence long before he ever knew the beat would be his life’s compass.

Thirteen-year-old Stanley stands in the back with his drum, Tap at the motorcycle’s rear. They played patios, birthday parties, and American Legion halls — and within a few years Stanley would be behind a kit at Grant’s Lounge. Every big story starts small. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/cf8e0daf-7171-44c3-8833-71c1d5fb93fe/6+Grants+Lounge+John+Stanley+.jpg Held Here - John Stanley Killingsworth: Keeping Time, Coming Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/eb4564f7-a673-48f3-882b-1a80a43603a1/8+kemper+tim+ken.jpg Held Here - John Stanley Killingsworth: Keeping Time, Coming Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/a2e40ded-452a-49f4-9b2d-07a2c0a59340/11+southfield+band.jpg Held Here - John Stanley Killingsworth: Keeping Time, Coming Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/feb62aab-ec06-4f2a-b65c-652dd77da315/stan+drums+2.jpg Held Here - John Stanley Killingsworth: Keeping Time, Coming Home - An early snapshot of Stanley behind the kit, after Disco — the dreaded D-word — swept through Macon and sent him searching for stages elsewhere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/91c2eeed-68f6-4e77-9667-d3cc12b3ed50/7+with+Loretta+Lynn+.jpeg Held Here - John Stanley Killingsworth: Keeping Time, Coming Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/ab987b84-ec95-46f9-9c94-27e9205dd1b4/mainstreet+band.jpeg Held Here - John Stanley Killingsworth: Keeping Time, Coming Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/9577fedb-ba94-4ea7-b1f8-cef2fbf86586/skydog+2021.jpg Held Here - John Stanley Killingsworth: Keeping Time, Coming Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/1764696497660-RDFW5WTSY3KW8YA40BMY/washington2.jpeg Held Here - John Stanley Killingsworth: Keeping Time, Coming Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/1764696499909-X1GQFL0RDTQN6F6ZNSKZ/world+aids+day.jpeg Held Here - John Stanley Killingsworth: Keeping Time, Coming Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/900a6852-ebed-459b-a9c4-90e52388bd53/2+Grants+Jam+for+Gregg.jpg Held Here - John Stanley Killingsworth: Keeping Time, Coming Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/2cb467a4-2a76-413b-865f-fca00bb8c71c/5+Idiot+Drummer.jpg Held Here - John Stanley Killingsworth: Keeping Time, Coming Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/b89e92ff-be0f-4bb3-9280-de2b119d32c6/1+First+Fri+8.jpg Held Here - John Stanley Killingsworth: Keeping Time, Coming Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/b6fccf3a-dd71-42a8-8636-1324d7f7c93c/4+the+Cage+Dave+Ken+Stan+Kenny.jpg Held Here - John Stanley Killingsworth: Keeping Time, Coming Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/09b1ebde-107f-4495-90f6-7679be5240b6/The+Cage+2nd+st+2020.jpg Held Here - John Stanley Killingsworth: Keeping Time, Coming Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/695037cc-4786-4041-b1c0-1f65cb1c8490/3+JSB+Parish+May+2018.jpg Held Here - John Stanley Killingsworth: Keeping Time, Coming Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/e467bc69-62bf-4d20-88ff-88c503f4fc9d/IMG_3735.jpeg Held Here - John Stanley Killingsworth: Keeping Time, Coming Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.porchlightlit.com/heldhere/kirsten-west-godmother-of-southern-rock monthly 0.5 2026-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/7a7aeffc-362d-44aa-8f5f-62523e4c1e1d/1000017912+%282%29.jpeg Held Here - Kirsten West: Godmother of Southern Rock - Kirsten West is the quiet force behind some of Macon’s loudest legacies. From restoring the Big House to publishing Hittin’ the Note, she turned history and heart into a home for Southern rock. Her courage, curiosity, and that firecracker red dress say it all. Kirsten’s been making room for music, art, and meaning in Macon for decades.

In 1968, both Gregg and Kirsten were in Hollywood, moving through the same orbit before their paths crossed again years later in Macon. The house where the Allmans once lived — and where Berry Oakley died — might have been lost to time, but Kirsten’s determination helped preserve it as the museum fans know today.

Its name came from the band’s own phrase for the transcendent moments of complete oneness when the music, the players, and the audience all locked together. More than a title and more than the music, “hittin’ the note” was considered a way of being by Berry Oakley and it became a mission on-stage and off, and in print, to capture and preserve those moments, keeping the spirit of the band alive for fans everywhere. Over the next 23 years, the newsletter grew into the most enduring chronicle of the Allman Brothers Band. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/1756597202905-OWR6SKM636BT2H7885KW/IMG_2263.jpeg Held Here - Kirsten West: Godmother of Southern Rock https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/1756597202298-6NCAQRHQJTWLJXC7ZZZL/IMG_2354.jpeg Held Here - Kirsten West: Godmother of Southern Rock https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/1756597404629-2MOSSHO45NAIAIBORVSF/CoverTedeschi.jpeg Held Here - Kirsten West: Godmother of Southern Rock https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/1756597027084-P3PIPOEG9DMXQINB01M2/Cover52.jpg Held Here - Kirsten West: Godmother of Southern Rock https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/1756597029742-1RYBYNT86Y01FKRKRQ91/issue56.jpeg Held Here - Kirsten West: Godmother of Southern Rock https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/1756597028156-5SPSL9TNF2MG8NVT9BSR/htn63page01b.jpg Held Here - Kirsten West: Godmother of Southern Rock https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/1756597028520-1ASUGDUETX9TJ7EB6N18/htn72page01.jpg Held Here - Kirsten West: Godmother of Southern Rock https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/1756597029632-Z2BEH1ANFW48SF5VX5UX/htn82page01.jpg Held Here - Kirsten West: Godmother of Southern Rock https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/1756596618858-OKIOBU8N9U0IRMQT8QSK/IMG_1863.jpeg Held Here - Kirsten West: Godmother of Southern Rock https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/1756596619342-AFZ7M9VA4EI9WXX5LROM/IMG_1864.jpeg Held Here - Kirsten West: Godmother of Southern Rock https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/1756596625150-0G8VB3RZGPZKWTJWAR7Q/IMG_1865.jpeg Held Here - Kirsten West: Godmother of Southern Rock https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/2468837d-e61d-40ce-9568-d8320ad421fd/IMG_3527.jpeg Held Here - Kirsten West: Godmother of Southern Rock - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/641a096f-7f69-4a54-8042-f165f07b3ac9/ribbonCutting5.jpg Held Here - Kirsten West: Godmother of Southern Rock - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/6c66ec0e-6768-4ff5-ae69-9de0b567f366/IMG_3526.jpeg Held Here - Kirsten West: Godmother of Southern Rock - Kirsten West with Col.

Part newsletter, part lifeline, Les Brers connected fans across the country and the world through its handwritten notes, tour itineraries, clippings, rare photos, and deep interviews. As noted in the winter 1988 issue, the book project with Joanne was the reason that issue of the newsletter was delayed—and the reason Kirk made the leap from advertising to full-time documentarian.

They weren’t about to shell out more money to add a fire escape or industrial kitchen. “We got around the codes by not charging folks,” Kirk says. “We had a gift box and folks would pay what they thought it was worth to stay at the house.” So they had pivoted: instead of a business, they created a destination. “We had put the notion out there,” Kirk says, “and were on CNN and the Travel network. That early attention created a destination and we had to evolve with it.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/1754923132642-QE9IQBCFP0K2A5E9P7MV/BigHouse1.jpeg Held Here - Kirk West: A Life in Focus, Behind the Lens and Behind the Scenes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/1754923132536-2VEX8OONE3Y16XUT866X/BigHouse2.jpeg Held Here - Kirk West: A Life in Focus, Behind the Lens and Behind the Scenes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/66f3d992-3235-41b3-9cbb-7866e389660e/PleaseCallHome.jpg Held Here - Kirk West: A Life in Focus, Behind the Lens and Behind the Scenes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/d601dcae-d289-4593-8714-75ed4230a21b/GalleryWest.jpg Held Here - Kirk West: A Life in Focus, Behind the Lens and Behind the Scenes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/f64bfb77-87e1-4382-b823-beeae198ba9b/coleman+birthday.jpg Held Here - Kirk West: A Life in Focus, Behind the Lens and Behind the Scenes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/e103711d-0caf-4b1e-a9c6-86cb332d5920/IMG_3318.jpeg Held Here - Kirk West: A Life in Focus, Behind the Lens and Behind the Scenes - “the show is really just me playin my albums & tellin the occasional tale.... but its mostly a fine way to spend an hour or so... hope ya give it listen.” Kirk on Instagram, May 1, 2023. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/31ce6843-af5b-4f2f-a9f1-bd75c9f76623/KirstenbyLittleGuideMacon.jpeg Held Here - Kirk West: A Life in Focus, Behind the Lens and Behind the Scenes - Kirsten West, Godmother of Southern Rock, stands inside Gallery West, co-founded with her husband, photographer Kirk West.

Onstage, he’s equal parts preacher and troublemaker, with a leg shake that ought to come with a warning label. Offstage, he’s the same humble, big-hearted Alabama boy who’ll hold the door, ask about your Mama, and mean it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/bfc11b28-8529-4448-849f-b97ad3310fa5/IMG_3306+%281%29.jpeg Say-So - From Backroads to Big Stages: The Red Clay Strays Story - Andy Bishop – Bass that rumbles like an Alabama storm. Smart and quick with a wry grin, Andy loves to fish, owns a boat, and lives near the water in Daphne, AL, with his wife Taylor. If you’ve heard him on the Theo Von podcast with Brandon, you know he’s got wit for days. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/76a77839-ba43-463e-a96b-dcc8600979ed/IMG_3298+%281%29.jpeg Say-So - From Backroads to Big Stages: The Red Clay Strays Story - John Hall – Firestarter behind the kit, known for cussing up a storm. Animated, John endears himself to crowds with his storytelling, earnest playing, and joyful gestures — arms raised high, sometimes standing on his kick drum like he’s testifying. Folks who’ve met him say what you see onstage is exactly who he is offstage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/53e2ddb7-7169-4ed7-96b1-dcfa198bc973/IMG_3291.jpeg Say-So - From Backroads to Big Stages: The Red Clay Strays Story - Drew Nix – Guitarist, harmonica player, harmony singer, songwriter. Drew’s penned or co-penned some of the band’s most beloved tracks, including “Wondering Why” (written for his wife Laurie Anne, who’s also a songwriter) and “Good Godly Woman,” which found its way into the 2019 film Dr. Sleep. A Mobile transplant from Hoover, AL, he’s written more than 100 songs since 2017, played everywhere from Red Rocks to the Ryman, and picked up an Artys Award from the Mobile Arts Council along the way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/62df40c4-a828-4fe6-af25-ade77d2e3cb5/IMG_3303.jpeg Say-So - From Backroads to Big Stages: The Red Clay Strays Story - Zach Rishel – Electric guitar, shredding with a style that sneaks up on you. Zach has just the right touch with his notes, not too many, not too few, just freakin’ soulfully right, coming from his hard rock roots. He’s private by nature, known for his playing more than his press, and happily so. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/18ef8fb2-cb33-4232-bebb-1f8e17a5e9a5/IMG_3250+%282%29.jpeg Say-So - From Backroads to Big Stages: The Red Clay Strays Story - Sevans Henderson – Keyboards that haunt, holler, and hold it all together. Sevans met the band while they were touring with Elle King, blew them away with his keyboard feats, and the chemistry was instant. He’s the newest member and now a fixture, splitting time between Nashville and the road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68504357da1c9a7a3b99db45/4c8b4fba-c388-4d5e-9192-ba54f7641fb2/IMG_3304+%281%29.jpeg Say-So - From Backroads to Big Stages: The Red Clay Strays Story - Matthew Coleman – non-band-member, songwriter, videographer, social media mind, and documentarian. He’s usually the one catching lightning in a frame — at shows, in posts, and during backstage moments. This blurry beauty (photographer unknown) is what happens when Matthew isn’t behind the lens.

Bill was a D-Day veteran, husband to Geraldine “Jerry” Allman, and father to two young sons, Duane and Gregg Allman. Bill’s death on December 26, 1949, left Jerry to raise the boys alone — a loss that would shape them and ultimately give rise to the Allman Brothers Band, pioneers of a new genre of Southern Rock that caught fire in Macon, Georgia, and spread around the world.
