Ronnie would like your lyrics! Would make a great Skynyrd tune👍

Hahaha I love it Uncle Gene! That woman is PMS pretty with a mean streak!

I hope it's not your good eye!!🤣 Love ya, Gene!! Im 58, and have been a Skynyrd fan since I was old enough to know who yall were! I say yall, because you were a part of them, too. I always thought Judy was being greedy, but now I know what happened. Our house burned in 1977, we had no insurance, no money, and all my albums were gone. I had Pronounced, One more for the Road, Street Survivors, etc. I also had Janos Joplin, The Doors, RS -Sticky Fingers, The Eagles, Elton John, even some Jethro Tull! It was a stack that some family friend gave me. All gone. But I digress.... Anywho, it makes me mad they took Robert E. Lee off the school. I guess they named it something stupid. Around 2008, I was in Gatlinburg, TN in an upstairs kareoke bar, and a young girl was trying to sing Freebird. She had her hand over her left ear. She wasnt doing too good of a job. She was with some girls and a really drunk guy. All of a sudden, she jumped off the little stage and ran out the door. The drunk guy got up and said, I guess yall dont know this, but that was Ronnie Van Zant's daughter! I was the only one in my crowd who knew the name RVZ, and her name, ...Melody Van Zant. The drunk guy tried to finish the song, but he sounded about like a hound dog with his tail rolled up in the truck window...! 🤣 I said oh my goodness! That was Melody! The other girls I was with knew the name Lynyrd Skynyrd, so I enlightened them. There was another man there, I dont think he was with them, but he sang David Allen Coe's song, 🎶You Dont Have to Call Me Darlin'🎶. He could sing it better than David! Anyway, my bil had a band who did LS music. Tony, died in 11' with cancer. We gathered and sang The Ballad of Curtis Loew at his burial. The band was" Open, Fire! " he looked like Ronnie, was vocals, but played the drums. His friend Mike, looked just like Gary, and played lead. He was bad to keep his back to the audience bcuz he was shy. My cousin Danny, played bass. He looked like Leon. The other guitarist, Lanny, looked like Steve Gaines. They were great at what they did!

I need too know more about Allen Collins because you can't find too much on him and I believe if you had to make a top 2 in the Skynyrd band it would be Ronnie and Allen....
