My dad dragged the family to Daytona almost every year growing up.
The reason: Daytona Beach is where young Gregg and Duane Allman fled to in 1959 and started playing music. My dad had similar dreams around 1969 of running away to Daytona with my uncle Duane (no joke) and starting a band called "Georgia Power" named after the electric company. This never happened. But my uncle became an electrician. Also, my parents had their honeymoon in Daytona Beach and my sister was conceived in the Thunderbird Motel.
