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.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Lots of photos of Leon Wilkeson shared on social media today.  :rolleyes:

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:





We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

"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.
