Three musicians from the iconic American rock band Lynyrd
Skynyrd, plus three others, were killed in a terrifying plane
crash on the Louisiana-Mississippi border on this day in
history, Oct. 20, 1977.
Lead singer and founder Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve
Gaines, and his sister, backup singer Cassie Gaines, were
all killed on impact.
The crash of the small Convair CV-240 passenger plane also
claimed the lives of assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick,
pilot Walter McCreary and co-pilot William Gray.
What a tragic loss of a great classic rock blues band no one could ever make and play music the way they did back then . I think about them everyday. There music still is the best all around.
I Still Have My (2) Tickets For The Show That Didn’t Happen. It’s Still A Sad Day For Me Not That I Missed The Show I Had Seen The Band at Least (3) Times
Before That Day What I Was Sad About Was The
Lost of The Band Members. I Have Been Offered
Quite A Lot of Money For The Tickets 🎫🎫 I Hold
Deep In My Heart But I will Never Sell Them.
I Have Left Them To My Second Grandson under The Condition They Never Be Sold.
Yours Sincerely
Captain Chris Champine ( RET. )
