I mailed Gene Odom to sign my book. Then Gene personally called me to check and see if I got the book back. Unbelieveable! We spoke for an hour. I am a big Gene fan. And Bobby was kind enough to answer a question for me on Facebook. Thank you guys!!!
2002 my buddy got back from Iraq safely. That summer we went to a Skynyrd concert in Bonner Springs, Kansas. I was 20 years old. Garry Rossington and Johnny Van Zant put on an amazing show. I couldn’t even imagine the shows you guys witnessed. Thanks for the history!
I’ve heard Gene lives in Inverness Florida now…so does my dad…I actually lived on Pritchard Island for 3 years…definitely gonna look Gene up next time I visit my dad…would love to buy Gene a steak dinner and listen to some awesome Skynyrd stories!!!!
Lee, can you tell me who wrote the lyrics of Free Bird? I have a debate going with a friend who says it was comprised of a break up letter to a band member. I'm thinking it was RVZ and maybe GR. HOWEVER, I mainly want to tell you that you are VERY CHERISHED and Ronnie is cheering you on sweetie! Please don't carry the burden of taking lives! This world is not our home!
The opening line"If I leave here tomorrow,would you still remember me"was something Allen Collins wife said to him when they were teenagers and dating....
