Description

UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS: *
LYNYRD SKYNYRD FIRST RECORDS TEE SHIRT * SCULL & CROSSBONES 1973 MCA RECORD DESIGN * SIZE * EXTRA LARGE * BLACK * NEVER WORN *
** FROM MY 40 YEAR LYNYRD SKYNYRD SURVIVOR COLLECTION **
It is not an original MCA shirt . I had some shirts the Tribute band copied and I kept a few for me and friends but they got tucked away and forgotten about till I just came across the . I retired in 2005 but they are from the 80s if I remember correctly but have been stored very well .
This is not an original MCA Tee shirt from 1973 . In the early 90's sometime after the Tribute Tours re-started there was an idea to remake some of the Genuine Lynyrd Skynrd Tee shirts from the 70's so they ask me if I had any that they could use . I dug through my collection and choose a few and had some made . Then for some reason I never gave them any shirts and just put them in with the rest of my collection and I really just forgot about them . I think my intention was just to hang on to them until the Tribute Tours Ended . The Tribute Tour started in 1987 and originally was schedule for One Year . But now after Thirty Years and for the last Two years is now referred to as the Farewell Tour with No real indication of an end . People found out I had some of these shirts and said I want one & just to name a price . So I decided to sell some before I die . I only sell things through E Bay because I do not like to put a value on my things . I would rather leave it to a buyer to decide a price .

SELLERS PAST LIFE

I started working with the legendary LYNYRD SKYNYRD BAND late in 1973 , I was the third roadie I ever to be hired by LYNYRD SKYNYRD . I started as a drum roadie but I was the guitar tech most of the time and at the time of the crash . I was also the stage manager and production manager at different times in my career with them . LYNYRD SKYNYRD was one of the wildest groups of musicians who ever toured the rock and roll circuit . Some of the wild insodents included drinking , drugs , and fighting were made into songs written by band leader Ronnie Van Zant . Many People who worked for the LYNYRD SKYNYRD BAND never saw thirty years old . I survived the lifestyle that comes with working with a wild young band like LYNYRD SKYNYRD and being personal friend with each member and partying with each member was unbelievable , not to mention I also survived the LYNYRD SKYNYRD airplane crash October 20 , 1977 , Although I was seriously injured .

I also survived working with the Rossington Collins Band from 1979 through 1983 . Those years were crazy . Then I survived working with the Allen Collins Band in 1983. That year was insanity to say the least . I could have died many times in numerous situations during that period of my life . Before that I survived working as a guitar tech on world tours with Foreigner in 1978 & Journey in 1979 . Plus the Marshall Tucker Band from 1983 through 1987 . Then I survived working again with the new LYNYRD SKYNYRD tribute band from 1987 through 2006 .

When I say I survived all of the above you really would have had to have been there to totally understand I should have died many times like alot of my friends . During these years I did things that led me to get Hep C . Many band members died with this illness such as Leon , Billy and Allen , others in the band are dealing with this problem at this time , like me . I was released working with LYNYRD SKYNYRD in 2006 beause of complications with the treatment that included injections of a medicine that did not agree with me . Since I was released from the band I have been selling my precious collection of LYNYRD SKYNYRD memorabilia from my life with LYNYRD SKYNYRD from the past 40 years . I recently sold Allen Collins 1932 Plymouth 3 window coupe which was one of my most prized posessions , I was in the studio as a guitar tech for every album ever done by the original LYNYRD SKYNYRD BAND plus the ROSSINGTON COLLINS & ALLEN COLLINS BAND. I became close friends with each member of all the bands.
