Sunday 7-8-18

This weekend the weather has turned really pleasant. Cooler, lower humidity. Can't ask for anything better. I pulled out an old cd to listen to the song Travelin' Man. I also pulled out an even older cd to listen to the original cut. Way back in the 70's the southern rock band made a legendary live album. That was Lynyrd Skynyrd. Not very long after in 1977 some of the members of the group were killed in a plane crash while on tour. Including the lead singer. The song Travelin' Man was on their live album and never made it to a studio album. In 1997 the band paid tribute to their lost loves by rerecording Travelin' Man in one special way. By this time the brother of their lost lead singer is the lead singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd. So they put the vocals of Ronnie from that live cut and put them together with Johnny's vocals. It's very good and for us Skynyrd fans brings tears to your eyes. 40 plus years later their legend continues...have a wonderful week...

      Glad you like the song. Did you know they were a Florida band? Hope your weather cools down and you have a great week. (-:

      I think I had read that or heard it somewhere along the line. Weather won't cool down for months now, though we may have a nice day here and there. This IS the land of eternal summer you know lol.
