I just had to post a short note about the passing of one of my favorites, Billy Powell of Lynyrd Skynyrd. I've been a huge fan of the Mr. Powell and the whole group since my college days. His music has helped me celebrate some great moments in my life and lifted my spirits when things were rough. Lynyrd Skynyrd was a distinctive band because of Billy Powell's piano and the guitar combo of Gary Rossington and Allan Collins. I was thrilled to see them reunite with my favorite singer, Johnny Van Zant, as lead.
Although I never was lucky enough to meet Mr. Powell, he was a dear to me. His music helped me forget my troubles and truly has been a major part of the soundtrack of my life. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends tonight.
