I STARTED WORKING WITH THE LEGENDARY LYNYRD SKYNYRD BAND LATE IN 1973 , I WAS THE THIRD ROADIE EVER TO BE HIRED BY LYNYRD SKYNYRD . I STARTED AS A DRUM ROADIE BUT I WAS THE GUITAR TECH AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH . I WAS ALSO BOTH THE STAGE MANAGER AND PRODUCTION MANAGER AT DIFFERENT TIMES IN MY CAREER WITH THEM . LYNYRD SKYNYRD WAS ONE OF THE WILDEST GROUPS OF MUSICIANS WHO EVER TOURED THE ROCK AND ROLL CURCUIT ,  SOME OF THE WILD INCIDENTS THAT INCLUDED DRINKING , DRUGS AND FIGHTING WERE  MADE INTO SONGS WRITTIN BY BAND LEADER RONNIE VAN ZANT . MANY PEOPLE WHO WORKED FOR THE LYNYRD SKYNYD BAND NEVER SAW THIRTY YEARS OLD.  I SURVIVED THE LIFESTYLE THAT COMES WITH WORKING WITH A WILD YOUNG BAND LIKE LYNYRD SKYNYRD AND BEING PERSONAL FRIENDS WITH EACH MEMBER AND PARTYING WITH EACH MEMBER WAS UNBELIEVABLE . NOT TO MENTION I ALSO SURVIVED THE LYNYRD SKYNYRD AIRPLANE CRASH OCTOBER 20TH 1977, ALTHOUGH I WAS HURT PRETTY SERIOUSLY .  I ALSO SURVIVED WORKING WITH THE ROSSINGTON COLLINS BAND FROM 1979 THROUGH 1983. THOSE YEARS WERE CRAZY . THEN I SURVIVED WORKING WITH THE ALLEN COLLINS BAND IN 1983, THAT YEAR WAS INSANITY TO SAY THE LEAST . I COULD HAVE DIED MANY TIMES IN NUMEROUS SITUATIONS DURING THAT PERIOD OF MY LIFE . BEFORE THAT I  SURVIVED WORKING AS A GUITAR TECH ON WORLD TOURS WITH FOREIGNER IN 1978 , THEN  JOURNEY IN 1979 ,  PLUS THE MARSHAL TUCKER BAND FROM 1983 THROUGH 1987 . THEN I SURVIVED WORKING AGAIN WITH THE NEW LYNYRD SKYNYRD TRIBUTE BAND FROM 1987 THROUGH  2006 . WHEN I SAY I SURVIVED ALL OF THE ABOVE,  YOU WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE BEEN THERE TO TOTALLY UNDERSTAND I SHOULD HAVE DIED MANY TIMES  LIKE A LOT OF MY FRIENDS . DURING THESE YEARS I DID THINGS THAT LEAD ME TO GET HEP C.    MANY OF THE BAND  DIED WITH THIS ILLNESS SUCH AS LEON AND ALLEN . OTHERS IN THE BAND ARE DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM AT THIS TIME JUST LIKE ME . I WAS RELEASED WORKING WITH LYNYRD SKYNYRD IN 2006 BECAUSE OF COMPLICATIONS WITH THE TREATMENT THAT INCLUDES INJECTIONS OF A MEDICINE THAT DID NOT AGREE WITH ME. SINCE I WAS RELEASED FROM THE BAND, I HAVE BEEN SELLING MY PRECIOUS COLLECTION OF LYNYRD SKYNYRD MEMEORABILIA FROM MY LIFE WITH LYNYRD SKYNYRD FOR THE PAST 35 YEARS.   I WAS IN THE STUDIO FOR EVERY ALBUM EVER  DONE BY THE ORIGINAL LYNYRD SKYNYRD BAND PLUS ROSSINGTON COLLINS & THE ALLEN COLLINS BAND. I HAVE BEEN BEST FRIENDS WITH EACH MEMBER OF THE BAND AND I STILL HAVE ALLEN COLLIN’S 1932 PLYMOUTH 3 WINDOW COUPE WHICH  IS ONE OF MY MOST PRIZED POSESSIONS, ALTHOUGH SELLING IT IS BECOMING A REALITY TO ME AT THIS TIME OF MY LIFE .
