What I think I'm hearing from you is, you're sorry for how you treated me during the pandemic?

Great pic of Billy!
Brings back a lot of great memories.
Who is it?
Billy Powell, keyboardist from the Lynyrd Skynyrd Band. He survived the plane crash in 1977.
I knew a lot of those guys, cuz I worked on all their cars, built Hot Rods for a few of them.
Fond memories, good people, Great Times!
That's awesome! I was born in Jax and my dad mixed sound for them a couple of times during TV telethons.
Cool! I remember seeing some of their telethons, I can't remember what time period that would have been though. I still live in Jax, almost 60 years now.
A lot of good bands seem to have come from here and Florida in general, Southern Rock anyway, Molly Hatchet, 38 Special, Little Creek Band and so many more.
Outlaws
YES! Outlaws!
How the fucc did I forget them but remember one as forgettable as Molly Hatchet?
Maybe cuz Dave Lubecks trash 64 Corvette was in my shop every freaking week!
I actually considered paying someone to steal it and wreck it just so I'd never have to see it again, lol.
Lol
There were four US Naval bases down there near and around Jacksonville and there was always a big demand for good music. The Allman Brothers also played down there.
He worked for WTLV Channel 12 at the time. This would be late 60s to early 70s. You forgot Blackfoot, Allman Brothers, and Tom Petty.
Greg & Duane grew up next door to my cousin in Daytona. They would get all effed up and jump the fence in the middle of the night to skinny dip in my uncle's pool and he'd get all pissed and throw them out. She also went to school with Dicky Betts.
I moved from FL to VA in '76 and did 45 years in the DC area and finally bailed during COVID and moved to NC. But, I'm still a pure Florida Cracker at heart. My family settled on the west coast in the mid 1800s.
Oh man, I left out some of the best!
All I can say is just don't get OLD! Memory is definitely fading.
I'm trying not to get old.
That's great man!
