Vintage shots from days gone by!

Yep, Neil is from Canada, Ronnie was from Jacksonville, two totally different styles of musicians.
They did not see eye to eye by any stretch.
'Southern Man' and 'Alabama' were written by Neil and then Ronnie answered with 'Sweet Home Alabama'..
'Free Bird' written by Lynyrd Skynyrd was a tribute to Duane Allman of Allman Brothers fame.
Ronnie died in a plane crash, as did half of his band as it was flying to a concert in 1977.
