“Was he an original member? I don’t recall what he played.”

No but he was the main guitar in Sweet Home Alabama and co-wrote that song and some others.

Incense and Peppermints...

I had the 45 way back when.

How you go from that to Southern Rock is beyond me.

Wow. Didn’t know that’ Goes way back then. Incense and Peppermints, some of the original psychedelic music.

Not an original, but a really good picker. Better than Steve Gaines IMHO. RIP.

Said he had congestive heart failure surgery and later, cancer. 68 is too young

He played the slide guitar on Needle and the Spoon on the Second Helping album and other guitar parts, but that was my favorite.

Sad to hear. “Incense and Peppermints” was, and is, the coolest song in the world.

I think Gary Rossington is the only living original member.
