DUANE ALLMAN 1962 Castle Heights Military Academy Yearbook

Description: EXTREMELY RARE!!! This yearbook from 1962 is a rare find for fans of the Allman Brothers. Featuring Duane Allman, this piece of music memorabilia is a must-have for collectors. The yearbook captures a moment in time when music was just starting to become a major industry. The Castle Heights Military Academy Yearbook is a unique piece of music history. Duane and younger brother, Gregg(not pictured), both attended the academy at various times. The Allman Brothers are an iconic part of music history, and this yearbook is a testament to their talent and legacy. Very good condition (see pics to determine for yourself). Plastic slip cover seems to have been part of the original design and has done an excellent job of protecting the cover from any staining. Howard Duane Allman (November 20, 1946 – October 29, 1971) was an American rock and blues guitarist and the founder and original leader of the Allman Brothers Band, for which he was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Allman began playing the guitar at age 14. He formed the Allman Brothers Band with his brother Gregg in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1969. Allman is best remembered for his brief but influential tenure in the band and in particular for his expressive slide guitar playing and inventive improvisational skills. A sought-after session musician both before and during his tenure with the band, Duane Allman performed with such established stars as King Curtis, Aretha Franklin, Herbie Mann, Wilson Pickett, and Boz Scaggs. He also contributed greatly to the only studio album by Derek and the Dominos, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs (1970). Allman died following a motorcycle crash on October 29, 1971, at the age of 24. In 2003, he was ranked number 2 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time, second only to Jimi Hendrix. In 2011, he was ranked number 9 and in 2023 he was ranked 10th. His guitar tone (achieved with a Gibson Les Paul and two 50-watt bass Marshall amplifiers) was named one of the greatest of all time by Guitar Player.
