Lynyrd Skynyrd - Remembering The Plane Crash 36 Years later

  


I can recall this night as if it had just happened. A friend and I were riding around listening to the radio, when the announcer broke in and said that a plane
carrying members of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Band had crashed in Gillsburg, MS. In disbelief, we
turned to each other not saying a word. As time passed, we heard of the horrific stories of the injuries,
and loss of life.

They played in Nashville, Tn., the summer of '76. So glad I got to see the original band members.
To this day, I am a huge fan of this band and have been to almost all of their Nashville concerts, although only one original band member ( Gary Rossington) is left.

There was only one person who could sing this song, Ronnie Van  Zant.

A lonely microphone stands alone, but we could hear you singing it on
your journey home.
