Ronald Bryce Currens

1970 Georgia Tech homecoming Wreck Parade. Ron is in the conning tower of the yellow submarine that uses the chassis and rebuilt engine of fraternity brother John Whitehouse's Buick sedan that was damaged in a fire. John is driving, and brother Tom Langford walks alongside.

I knew Ron for many years and was a guest in his home more than once. I always enjoyed talking music with him. I cherish some of his original concert photos that he gifted me years ago. I join a host of other friends who will miss him and are thankful to have known him.

I never knew Ron personally, yet I sort of did. When I first started collecting Allman Brothers Band live concerts on cassette tapes - pre Internet, the old Maxwell XL II 90 minute chrome tapes days - my friend the late Bob Levy gave me a tape of the Allmans from Central City Park in Macon, a very early show. On the "J card" where you would write the list of songs, Bob had written "date confirmed by Ron Currens".
I just wanted to pay my respects and say thank you for all you did for us Allman Brothers Band fans, most especially in the pre Internet days when information was limited.

Ron and I had many good times together through the years... He was a significant friend in my life & I will miss him. R.I.P. Ron... and rock on

I will miss my dear friend Ron and will look forward to our souls meeting again in the great beyond... We met in the mid-70s stayed in touch through the years and spent a lot of time together off and on as good friends enjoying music, Braves games, Hilton Head, steam engine train rides, talking and laughing together. R. I.P. Dear Ron...

Like so many (many!) people, I knew Ron (Hophead) from a mutual love and devotion to the Allman Brother's Band. For so many - via Ron's involvement with the Hitting the Note magazine, through countless meet-ups at concerts and through the many volumes of recorded live shows that he shared - Ron was nothing less than a musical sensei. I was always sure that I was the world's biggest Allman Brothers fan until I met folks like Ron, Joe and Bill Ector. Via these guys, I received a deeper and more formal education into all things Allman.
The world will be a sadder place in Ron's absence, this for sure. He will certainly be missed.
And gigantic kudos to whoever wrote the obituary! That just nailed it!

We were best friends from the age of 14 and I was blessed to have him in my life. We were in band together in junior high and high school, rivals when I went to Georgia and he went to Tech, and devoted Braves fans. We remained close over the years, and to me he was always. "Ronald B" or I would call him by the nickname his mom always used and that will remain our secret! He was so fortunate to have Eva in his life and they raised two extraordinary kids. I will miss our fun conversations and the sound of his voice. RIP, Ronald B.

We will meet again in the sweet bye and bye- I´m certain it will be an adventure! Love and miss you, bro. You left a world of memories...
