Yes, I was adopted as a baby by other family and told the story about him as I grew up.I am a professional drummer and my Father was a professional Jazz musician....so it runs in the family I suppose. I am a Powell, and I have a letter from the funeral.

One of the best piano players I’ve ever heard. God given talent and he used it well.

Billy busting into Lady Madonna right after playing the Piano solo to Tuesday's Gone shows EXACTLY why I believe Billy was Skynyrd's comic relief.

The guy is the Robert Johnson of piano players. I love that story of Roadie to intricate piece of an extremely tight band of grow up buddies. There music is in the same level as Beethoven,Bach, Mozart and the like. Timeless infectious and priceless!
