It's strange to think that Johnny Van Zant has now been with the band more than twice as long as his brother was.

He and Ronnie are jamming in Heaven....Ronnie's brother put a nice spin on it.

RIP.

RIP. Billy's piano contributed to the unique sound of Skynyrd. He and Ronnie will be hooking up with the other lost members for some great jams.

Bummed. Thankful he got 30+ bonus years after the plane crash. Time for some "One More From the Road"...sigh

Sad....:(

Saw the Street Survivors tour in L.A. in the 70's. The band was on the money that day. I still remember Freebird.

Rest in Peace
