"Jackie Avery said, 'Jai, there's a guitar player in Muscle Shoals that you've got to hear! He said, 'I have never heard nobody play like this cat plays. B.B. King and all those cats are masters; but this cat is so young, and he's a white boy at that. But you close your eyes when he plays and you swear he was Black.’ He said this cat was planning him a band together. But I never dreamed I'd be in that band. One night I heard Aretha's 'The Weight' on the radio. I said, that has got to be Duane Allman. I told everybody the next morning, it was so clear in my head what I heard. It lasted like one of those dreams that seem so real. And are so real.Duane told me later Phil had said to him, 'We got a drummer down here, he's so weird, we don't know if he can really play, or if he's just crazy.'" Jaimoe⁠
