I was woken to the news... headed to college with the knowledge that the LP came out that day too and that 6 of 12 on board died and not knowing who had died... as prophetic a cover as I have ever seen... I still have that days newspapers... sad but true...
The Rossington Collins Band was scheduled to play London when Allen Collins' partner died - the dates were never rescheduled - I never returned the ticket...
Used to like Blackfoot too... 2 original Skynyrds... Ricky Medlocke has recorded more with Skynyrd than Ronnie, and he was one of the original drummers...
