Leh-'Nérd 'skin-'Nérd

A Southern Band, so grandeur Always professional as they tuned and toured The Skynyrds, as i grew up with them Southern gals and Southern men. Rossington, Medlocke and the famous Van Zants Straight Southern Rock without a slant Boogie riffs, and maybe a spliff But what they produced, was my music wish. In 77, their world fell apart This horrific plane crash, did its worst Cassie, Stevie and Robbie Van Z The pilots and Dean, died at the scene Three days after, this title tasker Ironically titled Street Survivors. The courage and love As they moved through the years Every time i play them It brings a few tears. My only wish is too see them live Absorb their music capture their vibes Wave their flags, as they do each tour And wish all their lives to be so pure. The above words are from who i am James from Scotland just - A Simple Man " For one of the best Rock Bands ever " http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/music.php

They were tops here in north Florida, James. And many of their fans share your grief. So many great artists have lost their lives in air crashes. Maybe they will all reunite in the sky for one last "live" performance when Judgment Day comes. Until then, we can only play their music and enjoy great tributes to their talents. Excellent writing! Love, Carolyn
