Indeed a dark day in history for us Skynyrd fans. as we pray for our Freebirds from that day, and those who would join them later, let us thank God the surviving members would be couragious enough to pick up the torch and continue on. We love you guys, keep on rockin'!! Here's one I wrote on that day last year for our freebirds--gone but never forgotten.
27 YEARS AGO TODAY
27 years ago today a drunken brawler become a legend
Such a talent gone at such an early age
Ronnie truly wouldn't be appreciated until after his death
His songs would go on to inspire millions
27 years ago today a young guitar hero become famous
A true talent discovered was just beginning to fit in
Steve's legacy with the band would become legendary
His talent was only beginning to show forth
27 years ago today a sweet heavenly voice was brought home
She would remain by her brother's side forever
Cassie would always be the one who got Steve noticed
Her status with the band would no longer be lost in the background
27 years ago today a plane crash touched millions
A young southern band had just begun to make it big
Lynyrd Skynyrd would become legendary
Their music would inspire countless musicians
Years later the remaining members would pick up the pieces
And go forth to honor their brothers and sister
Allen and Leon would soon pass as well
But the band's legacy would carry on
As we pay tribute to our freebirds
And continue to support the current band
One thing that will never be forgotten
That evening 27 years ago today
