In Memory Of Billy Powell

In case you haven't heard yet, Billy Powell, Lynyrd Skynyrd's keyboardist/pianist, has died today at the age of 56. He was one of the most incredible rock musicians I have ever seen. He has played the piano on some of the most popular songs in rock music, most notably Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama. 

I got the chance to see him play live with my dad and my buddy, Austin Gibson, when Skynyrd came to town with The Allman Brothers a couple of years ago. One of the best shows I've ever been to. I'm glad I got to see him play before his death. He seemed like a great man and from the things said in the article I read, he seemed to be a believer. Regardless, pray for his family and his band mates. I'm sure they're having a hard time with it.
