LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JAN 15, 2020…TODAY WOULD HAVE BEEN RONNIE VAN ZANT’S 72ND BIRTHDAY. VAN ZANT OF COURSE PASSED AWAY ON OCT 20,1977 WHEN THE PLANE CARRYING LYNYRD SKYNYRD CRASHED IN MISSISSIPPI. HE WAS ONLY 29 YEARS OLD. ACCORDING TO HIS BANDMATES AND FAMILY MEMBERS, RONNIE WOULD TELL THEM ALL THE TIME THAT HE “WOULD NEVER BE 30 YEARS OLD”, AND ACCORDING TO FORMER BANDMATE ARTIMUS PYLE HE SAID THAT “THE MAN KNEW HIS DESTINY’. SPOOKY STUFF. HERE’S AN ISOLATED TRACK OF RONNIE VAN ZANT SINGING “SIMPLE MAN”. ENJOY
