Pepsi 1977 Tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd from my personal collection

don't lay to say real puny yeah boss long fish yeah really different to it in ones I thought after we got the totally together we had a band we started playing clubs dancing and all kinds of stuff like that we never really thought we were going to make it we just used to load up all our equipment in a band and I I saw on top of the van on top of the equipment in the van and just take off and we come back about three weeks later with empty gas tank empty stomach and empty classes learn Skynyrd he was my gym coach we used to put vaseline all over here and freeze it straight back but after gym you know being in gym he had to take a shower so he'd always catch us with the Vaseline out of here and he'd sent us to the principal so we started it as a joke called banlist and I bet it caught on so we just kept I'm the real lynyrd skynyrd how was a gym coach in high school for Ronnie Vanzant some of the other members of the band and back in those days we had a dress code the dress code involved sideburns not coming below the ears here not touching the back of the collar belts had to be worn short tails had to be in and socks had to be worn at all times it was the duties of the coach to help enforce these rules and apparently one of the people that one or more of the people that that I may have sent down we're members of this band anyway but has certainly been an unusual experience having a rock band named after you we've done I think it's very important for people to be close to the land because if we take care of the land the land will take care of you what I do from lynyrd skynyrd is purely physical so having my health is very important usually on the road I live on yogurt and nuts and when I'm home I eat a lot of fresh veg everybody has a little bit of drummer and there's nobody I know that doesn't tap their foot to to a tune or Pat their hand on the dashboard of a car going down the road like my dad used to do I think that's what got me started but the people that come up to me and say how do you do it it's just something that I do every day and if you do something every day you're bound to get good at it some people wonder why I like Beethoven and famous old composers like that you know I like melodic music that's where I Drive my style from in a perfect example of that is say my solo or the piano part and Tuesday's gone right there is an example of the people you know the Beatles there they are the first people that really changed my style of music from a technical know-how to a little bit of feeling a little bit of boogie-woogie we're just going up on a feeling of assault that either Ronnie creates breathing rack creator whoever never turns out like it starts off it changes and it comes out the band everybody just gets together puts their part into it and he makes a part fit with each other mostly to go along with the vocal this thing there is a song right since I've gotten a group I've gotten a nobody pretty well I hope I've created some kind of momentum in the right direction found the music side of it I think we're really progressing the nests yeah that's all I'm looking for it's just been so great I just got like a Disneyland tail for me hey I want your bed you I'd like to encourage kids just not to be afraid to be invisible I will tell them stick with what's your naturally gifted with in life that's very important like I say I've had a lot of good things about with we all did well I'll have the March brothers deficit feels Elvis Presley the Beatles Ed Sullivan I'd like to be able to be assured that got my little boy whenever he's gonna go be life he's gonna have happy Star Wars anything ever after you know man for Sauron be there how about you California when we first write it was just the lyrical part of the song that we used and that didn't seem to go too well but when we added the guitar arrangement on the end of it that seemed to really pick up and like the song goes like free birds and they write it right again de Larroque is like I want fly holla pretty bird and get to our star song I don't know we consider ourselves a professional band when a band goes into play you're playing for the people not for yourself and I have something about two you know playing in front of 50,000 people and seeing them still get up for that song seeing them stand up just seeing people get up and put your hands together for a song that you wrote to me that's what that's what it's all about miss what makes me keep going back the lyric content free burgers bison and the idea you know everybody being free to me there's nothing freer than then a bird you know just climb wherever he wants to get and that's what this this country is all about you know being free and I think everybody wants to be a creeper
