Sweetheart, you seem to misunderstand.  It was 31 years ago that is happened and we were telling how old we were at the time.  You were obviously just a young lass at the time so I'll forgive your math error. ;D

Several years after I met Ed King, who I think had quit the band prior to the crash. He sold a friend the "Sweet Home Alabama" strat and we met a few times at a local guitar shop. He had found religion and was selling real estate.
I think that lasted for a few years, but one of the reconstitutions of Skynrd brought him out of retirement for awhile.

Haven't seen him since, but man could he play.
I got the blues as my companion.

Here's Ed's website. I saw him with Skynyrd when he was back with them in the early 90's.
Damn fine picker.

The plane crash was tragic but at least the whole band wasn't lost. In between the original band, and the band that reformed later, The Rossington-Collins Band rocked for a few years.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPeGgnn-jdg Some of the guys were in other bands and Ronnie Van Zant's brothers Donnie and Johnny are still around. They have their own band, Van Zant, in addition to playing with .38 Special and the new Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Just a quick post to what happened on the way to Louisiana on this day in 1977.  Another small plane crash that has taken many others away too soon in the music industry, Buddy Holly, Big Bopper, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Randy Rhodes, John Denver, and others.

Just thought I'd throw it out there for a Fall evening. RIP

Ricthie Valens, Jim Croce. Great video, I'm pretty sure I caught a glimpse of a young Jaybethel in the audience.
