Lynyard Skynyard Plane Crash Memorial

Was first introduced to Lynyrd Skynyrd when I went to see the Dobbie Brothers on November 15 1976 . They were the opening act and I was hooked from that date on as they remain my favorite band to this day. Remember the singer being barefooted on stage. Didn't know his name or the name of the band at that moment.

I saw them in Binghamton NY within a few days of then. Skynyrd was the headliner. I'm not sure of the date, but it was a Saturday in late November of '76. I was a teenager working on a Christmas tree farm. We got paid, jumped into this older guy's Road Runner, and hauled *** the 35 miles to the show. There were still a few tickets left. We were in our filthy work clothes, covered in pine sap. We knew all about Skynyrd. They were on the local rock station all the time. Funny, I just saw the Doobie Brothers last Friday.
