Musician's hats

Does Marshall Tucker still have any originals left?

I think one guy and a roadie. Both Caldwells are gone, right?

OK, just peeked at Wiki. One guy, Doug Gray, still in the band. Two more still on this side of the grass, and the rest on the other side.

Doug Gray. Caldwell & Caldwell are dead.

Many moons ago, when Toy was still alive, I believe, they played a little bowling alley turned dance hall here in town. I still occasionally poke myself hard with something sharp to remind myself I should have gone that night.

To top it off, they just played here a week or so ago and I had to do something else that night and couldn't go. Worse, they're touring with Charlie Daniels and the Outlaws. That woulda been fun.

Reminiscing last night I seem to recall that Toy Caldwell licensed the MTB name, so his estate may be making income off it today. Maybe that is more common than I always thought. Ronnie Van Zant did it & when Medlocke licensed Blackfoot I always thought he learned from Ronnie.

I believe the Bluebird Cafe is now closed & just a landmark? Rossington looks tired. This is supposed to be their farewell tour; who knows?

Gary Rossington has heart trouble. As far as i'm concerned Lynyrd Skynyrd died after plane crash and the loss of Allen Collins. I don't even enjoy listening to them anymore.

Charlie Daniels. Now that's a Stetson son.

Definitely not the same band, but a damn good group of musicians even after.

Kinda like a cover band. Johnny is no Ronnie and just because Medlocke plays a vintage Explorer he couldn't fill Allen Collins shoes.

Best Guitar lineup they ever had Steve Gaines, Allen Collins, and Gary Rossington IMO. They were hotter than ever just before plane crash.

That's the version I saw on the Street Survivors tour. Had he lived, Gaines would be a monster now.

I don't have Showtime so I have to find another way to stream this. Was it good?

Yes it was good. Had some footage from Freebird The Movie and quite a bit of new stuff.

It's a Showtime Documentary so you know that when it gets posted on YT it will be taken down immediately. Every LS fan should watch it.

Leon Wilkerson always wore wild different hats.

 

[Winston Carter]

The man that wore his own kind of hat. He was never influenced by anyone. He set his own style.
