I heard them so often, it brings me bittersweet feelings to see them performing Free Bird. I went to school with the then backup singer, Dale and we were pretty good friends. She was very cool and so smart! We both aced our English class. I know the band changed so much afer the plane accident and then Allen's death but they were sure a bright spot of homegrown rock n roll during my youth.
