HAPPY BIRTHDAY Owsley ‘BEAR’ Stanley ! Owsley Stanley's acid trips helped define the sound of the 1960s, but his recordings are just as important. @owsleystanleyfoundation @merchmountain

Repost from @dickeybettsofficial #AmericanOriginals. Here's another rarely seen photo from one of Dickey's sessions with legendary tattoo artist Lyle Tuttle. He was one of the most important American tattoo artists of all time. Known as the "father of modern tattooing," Lyle was a revolutionary in his art form. He started in the late 40's, opening his landmark Lyle Tuttle Tattooing studio on 7th Street in San Francisco in 1960. Over the years he became best known for his wo...rk on musicians and celebrities including Johnny Winter, Janis Joplin, Jim Croce, Cher, Peter Fonda and Joan Baez. In an interview with Relix Magazine, drummer Butch Trucks looked back on the experience. "There was a guy in San Francisco by the name of Lyle Tuttle, and Dickey had really started in on tattoos," he recalled. "So he would go over and drop acid, and Lyle would just free-form on Dickey." When someone suggested the idea of a band tattoo, the drummer was hesitant. "I agreed I'd get a tattoo as long as it was really small and out of the way," he said. "We came up with the idea of this little mushroom on our right calf. When we started the band, we did a lot of psilocybin and it became a symbol of the Allman Brothers. So we all got into this hotel room in San Francisco and Lyle started tattooing everybody, including the roadies. I had a full bottle of Jack Daniels in me and that sucker still hurt. How Dickey sat there free-forming full of acid, I'll never figure out." San Francisco, CA. August 1973. : Neal Preston. #allmanbrothers #dickeybetts #RIPlyletuttle #legends #icons #soundsofthesouth #theroadgoesonforever @lyle.tuttle @thebighousemuseum See more
