Instrumental on Eat A Peach. Inspired by a real Martha (Ellis) who died as a child and was buried on Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon, GA, not so far from a grave for an Elisabeth Reed. The Allmans, who lived around the corner, came here at night to jam among the gravestones. Author Duane and bassist Berry Oakley, who both died in Macon in similar motorbike accidents, were buried side by side on this same holy ground.
