Episode 24: Dr. Bob Beatty and ”Play All Night! Duane Allman and the Journey to Fillmore East”

(Originally published by Sebastian Garcia on October 28th, 2022) The Department of History’s Sebastian Garcia talked with Dr. Bob Beatty, a double UCF History alum (B.A. 1994, M.A. 2002) and received his Ph.D. in Public History at Middle Tennessee State University in 2018. Dr. Beatty is currently the president of The Lyndhurst Group—a history, museum, and nonprofit consulting firm—and an instructor of Museum Studies and American History at Johns Hopkins University Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. Their conversation in this episode primarily focused on Dr. Beatty’s newly released book titled, Play All Night! Duane Allman and the Journey to Fillmore East, and they were very much on theme with the Allman Brothers Band as they were “hittin’ the note” themselves in this conversation, and as a result they went over scheduled time (Dr. Beatty had to go to a book talk workshop at the UCF History Department after the recording)! Allman Brothers Band fans or not—this podcast is highly dynamic, entertaining, and educational, thus being worthy of its 2 hours and 20 minutes runtime!
