"Y" Music "35 Years After Definitive Tragedy" by Wendy Geller.
The October 20, 1977, Lynyrd Skynyrd was on a headliner tour for their sixth album when their plane crashed near Gillsburg, Mississippi. Three of the members died and others were injured. The group's drummer staggered for help and was allegedly shot by a local farmer.
The record company scrambled to replace the new album cover which showed the group engulfed in flames.
The group, known for their hard partying offstage has had many other bad things happen to them. Even so, they play on, even with just one original member. I was glad to see they changed their mind about displaying the Confederate flag on stage. It was so much a part of their "'tude."

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
