*****
Thirty years ago this weekend, Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane crashed carrying the band between shows in Greenville, SC, and Baton Rouge, LA. Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and his sister Cassie, one of the group's backing vocalists, died in the crash; the remaining members were injured. (The cause of the crash was either fuel shortage or a fault with the plane's mechanics.) In tribute to the band, I played a couple of songs from the Drive By Truckers "Southern Rock Opera," an album dedicated to the legendary Lynrd Skynrd.
