Who’s Dickey Betts?” As soon as Tony Senatore heard that David Goldflies agreed to a KYBP on Film interview during a tour stop in New York in October 2019, Senny polished his cherished Alembic, which was among Goldflies go-to instruments as anchor of Dickey Betts’ Great Southern, and later, the Allman Brothers Band upon their first reunion in 1979 – and brought it to the studio for this extraordinary bassist.

David had a great time riffing on this vintage instrument as he recalled meeting the iconic guitarist during a Top 40 gig, along with his role in the classic rock track “Black Betty” and a few lessons he learned as a young player in Part One of “A Conversation with David Goldflies.”
