Everybody found out that you are gay

Looking forward to possibly seeing you again in Oct at the monument was so honored to meet you at the monument last year I got my start in lighting in 1973 and never looked back ROADIE FOR LIFE brother 🎚️🎚️🎚️🎚️🎚️🎸🎸🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thanks for sharing your account of what happened. I was 10 years old when that took place . Skynyrd is one of the greatest! So sorry for the loss of lives. Untimely death for Ronnie and everyone else who lost their lives . Great footage and explanation of what happened. Thanks

Also if ya dig and enjoyed this video Lynard Skynard band 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on KZfaq. 😀

Thanks for story. What a brutal event. Tragic man just tragic.

So was I

I still remember hearing about the crash but hadn’t discovered their story until recently. Yes, I knew some of their music when they were playing all over but had issues going on. Now I feel like I missed something huge and am so sad that I didn’t know of them when they were alive. I love the stories of the way the band developed, how they grew up together, about the Hell House years-amazing. Love the music and the legend of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Magic brother. Glad you survived. It’s amazing that anyone survived that plane crash after seeing your video. I grew up listening to Skynard. Finally got to see them in Wisconsin after the older family members died. Johnny Van Zant canceled the show but came back for the fans. Amazing show played all the songs that I grew up listening to. Amazing timeless band for anyone especially someone who grew up in the south. First time heard Skynard was on a mono record player in my parents house in Ormond Beach Florida. Been listening ever since. Tuesdays gone always brings tears to my eyes I can remember listening to streets of fire during hurricane David and being so young but feeling safe because that album put me at ease .

I stopped counting stents at 10. I know what you mean. Open heart surgery ain't no cakewalk either. Glad you are feeling better. What happened to the "YOU GOTTA GO" t-shirts?

Thank you for your story sir, loss of life is always tragic, Ronnie was an amazing singer, my condolences to all crew members and the captains. Also tragic but part of me is thankful the Gains went out together. When asked the question, you or your wife, I always say my wife, not because i want to lose her or her be gone, but I don't want her to suffer my loss.

Thanks for your story. I’m so glad you mentioned that this is your story and everyone else has their own versions of what happened to them and how they remember it. I believe your story. Others have their own memories and I don’t discount theirs either. I can’t imagine what a traumatic experience it was for everyone involved. I’m glad you made it out alive. I have 2 friends that went to an autograph signing at the Altamonte Springs Mall and have all of the band members autographs.

Thanks for another trip back in time. Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush were a great band!!

Thanks for sharing your memories of that horrible crash , thankfull the survivors outnumbered the fatalities

Come on folks it don't take a second to like the video! Lets help this feller out! Smash that like button. After all the stoned roadie speaks highly of Mark.lmao

Like who has or got Ronnie's last outfit,ect? Do you guys still have the last outfits,ect.? I didn't know the history of Lynyrd Skynyrd until I got a dvd at a local pawn shop that I bought because it had sweet home Alabama. It turned out to be the Lynyrd Skynyrd movie&I learned some rock-n-roll history. I loved it,but felt sad to learn about the plane crash,ect. I had more respect for their music&the original band members&always will!

HI Mark! Wolfgang here, im so sad and scared of what happened to you and its not even the beginning of your road warriors life style. I hope you recover fast, im too far away right now because I would come and help you out, Im 1000% serious. Please dont let us be guessing and keep doing casts...I have some personal problems as well but I see what I can do to help you out OK? Dod bless you and we talks soon Austrian wolf

Man I've been trying to subscribe to your channel had a he'll of a time. Anyway I heard about you from the stoned roadie lol. I think I finally got subscribed I don't know if it was on my end or yours but I think it's fixed now. Later.

Wonderful video. I'm so sorry you went through that I've been through two horrible accidents myself. One my heart stopped three times, and I'm very thankful to be here. I grew up with Lynard Skynard and there legendary music i have tried to learn as much as I can about this legendary band and I'm thankful my kids love there music as much as I did as a kid incredible group of guys here thank you so much for your story I'm sure that's hard to talk about thank you so much and God bless you 🙏

I met this man in a small town in Tennessee he owned a small bar back in the early nineties. . Used to love to listen to him tell stories about his life And things he had done throughout his life. He was probably one of the most interesting people for a 21 year old young man that had never been out of the state of Tennessee to meet. His stories were fascinating for me the 21 year old. Thank you Mark Howard.

Wow, thank you for making this video. Thank you so much.

just catching this one Mark,...thanx for sharing...dave in NC🙂 only a guy like you would apologize the way you did.

I live in texas near houston i wish i could meet this man

Thank you so very much Mark for sharing this and all your other stories. Im hoping to make it to the Skynyrd Monument there in Mississippi. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care of yourself!

Hey bubby what happened to your leg ?

I'm proud to be a friend of Mark Howard. He's gonna marry me and my soul mate June 22 at the moose lodge in pasadena TX.

Really enjoy your podcasts Mark. Thank you for sharing your most interesting life stories with us. Met you at the monument last fall, good times!

Another good one, so glad to see you getting back with the videos. Take care brother and continued prayers 🙏 ❤

Great. Video as always-love the necklace

Glad seeing you Mark. You still looking good brother. God bless you and my prayers 🙏 ❤️ 🙌

I just started watching your video and Sweet Home Alabama came on the radio, that was strange.

Mark did Texas jam have more than 1 stage? Lynyrd Skynyrd July 7 77 Madison Wisconsin do you recall?

Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush! Heavy Canadian rock band!

Are you saying you have no taste? 😂😅

Always excited to see a new video from this guy. Always entertaining

I miss the pulling the pass posts. You should do that more often. Thanks for sharing your stories. I really enjoy your videos. Also, how do you maintain such a close shave? LOL

FYI, that model is a DC-3 not Skynyrd's Convair 220. The Convair 55VM was not a tail dragger but had tricycle gear and the nose is significantly longer. just sayin

Great story and you are a good story teller. Very interesting to hear this piece of history from somebody who lived it.

Thanks for all the work you do to make these. Very entertaining!

You sir are a national treasure 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Pardon me if someone already pointed this out but was the plane behind your right shoulder deliberately put on the stand pointing down?

Great video Mark. I love the backstory of these events. Keep them coming and your channel will grow. I worked sound in Ft. Worth, TX, in the 70's. Mostly on stage monitor mix. I'm sure I've run across some of the same people that you did. One of my favorites was CHARLIE DANIELS. I worked two of his shows about 1 year apart. Having a conversation with him after sound check we just chatted for about ten minutes. On to the second show.... he remembered me and invited me backstage for a meal that was spread out for the band. We talked again and he treated me like a long lost friend. He was a very nice man and a pleasure to do monitor mix for.

Hey Mark, is there gonna be a huge celebration at the memorial for the 50th anniversary of the crash?

Hey Man ! Glad you are still doing this show

Mark sorry I just can't help looking but Nipper is really listening and is that a Gibson SG and the plane looking good thanks for pulling the pass please keep doing it

Cool 😎 Texxas Tow Truck Jam ..! 🌟♥️🤩
