Gary Rossington, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Last Original Member, Dead at 71
“Gary Rossington, a founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd whose ethereal slide guitar helped make the Southern rock band’s song “Free Bird” an indelible anthem, died Sunday at the age of 71…Rossington was Lynyrd Skynyrd’s last surviving original member, a stoic figure who preferred to let his guitar do the talking and who cheated death more than once.”
Skynyrd is one of my all-time favorite bands. Gary is the man playing slide in the video below.
I own 10 Lynyrd Skynyrd CDs/Box Sets from which I’ve 128 FLAC files.
I did a small article on Lynyrd Skynryd a few years back on the 41st anniversary of the place crash.
RIP Gary Rossington
