That's a shame at only 70. One of the bassists I'd hear on the radio who stood out in a good way. RIP.
Lots of photos of Leon Wilkeson shared on social media today. :rolleyes:

Same here
I didn't know that he had played for decades with 38 Special after his formative Skynyrd stint. Which gives me the opportunity to - I luuuuuuv that song ... - re-post this, thanks for the great music Larry, for having the manly shoulder to play an alu neck Kramer (in the vid) and some videos truly iconic in their cheesiness! :mrgreen:

"Caught Up In You" has been one of my favorite songs for years. As cheesy as it may sound, I've always thought it might be a good song for a wedding. Good luck on singing it, though. Anyone who can pull off vocals that sound like Don Barnes has my respect.
Back to the point, though, I admire Larry Junstrom's accomplishments and he will definitely be missed.
