This is Terry Robbins.

We met in Des Moines, IA in 1988 when you were touring with Skynyrd during their “ Tribute Tour “ during 1987/1988.

I had the privilege of meeting you after the concert that night and purchasing your book “ Lynyrd Skynyrd I’ll Never Forget You “.

We briefly spoke, you signed the book for me and I swear it’s a night and a concert I will never forget !

The next best thing would have been to see Ronnie. But still, the Lynyrd Skynyrd I saw was awesome !!

Johnny Van Zant did the singing and if one didn’t know better – one would swear it was Ronnie himself.

It was so eerie that night, I can’t even put it in words. And when they did Free Bird and put Ronnie’s hat & scarf on the mike stand with NO vocals.

I swear Ronnie’s spirit was there in the building that night in Des Moines, IA.

So thanks so very much for the memories some 20 years ago now. Unbelievable !!

Gene – would it be possible to obtain a copy of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Remembering the Free Birds of Southern Rock ?

If there’s any way to get a copy, I would appreciate letting me know how to purchase one. Thank you !

BTW – I was just emailing with Andy Tanas or “ T “ as Ronnie, Gary, Allen, Billy, Ed, Leon and Artimus called him.

“ T “ was on tour with Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1975 as part of an audio crew and later went on to become a Bassist for Black Oak Arkansas, Krokus, etc….

I was emailing with “ T “ about the old days and recalling one of the best rock bands of all time – Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Thanks again so very much for the memories !!
