    Thank you, Ronald, for doing a nice job with this interview and respecting his wishes to include the reference to his upcoming memoir. This was actually conducted on Friday, October 18, 2019. Paul had flown to the New Orleans airport where he was then driven over one hundred miles by car to McComb. He was not yet unpacked and settled into his hotel room when this interview was given. Thus it is understandable that he's winded. He was the most critically injured survivor of the plane crash. You will notice a slight smile when he first remembers Ronnie. True, Ronnie had high standards however Paul was never in any way intimidated or afraid of him. Thank you to all of the viewers who had kind words to say about Paul and this interview.

    I am in a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band "Almost Skynard" the formation of our band came from the love of their music and as a result we perform every song with heart-felt feeling. People tell us, we remind them of the old Lynyrd Skynyrd. I guess that's because we are close to the age of the original members. This is a fantastic video and thanks for publishing it.

    I love skynard. Great mesmerizing live shows. I met them at a bar on Fort Lauderdale Beach where I was playing in The Ross Emery Band. Post plane crash ,78,79,ish. They were real nice to me. They were Rossington Collins Band by this time. It bums me out to know some of them chose alcohol and violence and we're injured badly. The airplane rental was a bad call. It's a damned shame.

    Was one of the fortunate ones to have been hanging out in those Atlanta bars where Al Kooper first heard and signed Skynyrd. I grew up just a couple of miles down the road from where the cover photo's on Pronounced were taken. Skynyrd was not the first band Kooper signed to his Sounds Of The South label. I suppose it's lost on Al but he never mentions Mose Jones and the fact that Skynyrd opened for them. Mose Jones recorded two albums on the label and were one of the most popular Atlanta bands at the time. A four piece group that could hold their on in live settings with any act in town.
