Lynyrd Skynyrd "Jacksonville Kid" UnTold Story From Behind The Song. Ronnie Van Zant's Final Song!

In this video I tell my story. Not THE story. Just my story about this song and what I was able to learn from the men who were a part of creating this song, the last and final song Ronnie Van Zant recorded before the plane crash.

I got to know Ron O'Brien and Tom Dowd over many long years. And this story is what I gathered from them and compiled into this video.

This story belongs in books, articles and documentaries about the band. It is their history. Their truth. And the world needs to include every detail moving forward whether it is published information or still unreleased.

I am trying to bring out unknown, unpublished, and unreleased recordings, photos, videos and information before its too late for some of us.

So this is my story on how Jacksonville Kid came into existence. I am not explaining the lyrics Ronnie wrote and sang on his last song which would be my interpretation, so I will leave the meaning and message of this song to the fans and the world of ears listening to this legend's last and final song recorded just days and weeks before he died in a tragic plane crash in 1977.

***CORRECTION:

In this video I said "most" of the photos on the APB live album were taken by me, but after a photo count the word I should have said is "some" of the photos on the album were taken by me, NOT most. I am proud and honored that the photo of Artimus published on this album to represent it to the fans was one of my photos taken at the Orlando House of Blues.
