I was always more in the Allmans camp because of the improvisation, but I can only hope to aspire to come up with some semblance of the guitar parts that Skynyrd created. Always perfect for the tune. I always dug the band, but my respect has certainly grown.

Caught Gary three times...once in Rossington-Collins, once in a post-crash Skynyrd, and once sitting in with the second Reunion Gig of Bad Company in 1999. He did harmony guitar with Mick Ralphs on "Rock and Roll Fantasy."

I'm going to suggest "Tuesday's Gone" to John for the new tune at this month's gig.
