Free Bird

, ,

A great loss to Southern Rock Fans, Billy Powell, of Lynyrd Skynyrd, passed away on January 28, 2009. rip Gone way too soon, yes, FREE BIRD, I will still remember you.

Goodbye Billy, I will miss you my friend.

Free Bird

If I leave here tomorrow

Would you still remember me?

For I must be travelling on, now,

cause theres too many places Ive got to see.

But, if I stayed here with you, girl,

Things just couldnt be the same.

cause Im as free as a bird now,

And this bird you can not change.

Lord knows, I cant change.

Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.

Though this feeling I cant change.

But please dont take it badly,

cause lord knows Im to blame.

But, if I stayed here with you girl,

Things just couldnt be the same.

Cause Im as free as a bird now,

And this bird youll never change.

And this bird you can not change.

Lord knows, I cant change.

Lord help me, I cant change.

Good morning, Annette! It's great to see you are finally open for business ... Blogging business ... Chatting business.bigsmile Kudos on hitting the nail on the head with the Valentine's Day background. up The same goes for the Banner. I see that awesome animated GIF turned out just a tad too big vertically for the Banner size. Try increasing the px Pixel number on the Height parameter in your Banner's CSS Code. That should increase your Banner's height to allow that Heart & Roses GIF to fit in its entirety.

I've known about Lynard Skynard for the longest time, but believe it or not, their only song that I know by title is - "Sweet Home Alabama." They ARE the ones who play it, right? It's conceivable that I've heard more of their songs. It's just that like with a lot of English music, a lot of the time I don't know to whom I am listening. I may like songs for years and not even know who plays them. doh

What's the Free Bird connection? The first thing that came to mind when I read that was a Beatles song. Don't the Beatles have a song titled - Free Bird? Or is it Black Bird?

Hey Carlos! It's great to see you here;). Recognize the new banner? How does your masterpiece look on my blog? I was just fooling around with the animated Heart & Roses GIF to see how it looked with the animated background. I may put it back up on Valentines Day, and then I will adjust the vertical pixels.

I met the surviving members of Skynyrd at local clubs/bars between the time of the plane crash and the reformation of Lynyrd Skynyrd after Johnny replaced his brother Ronnie Van Zant as lead singer.

Ronnie Van Zant wrote Sweet Home Alabama as a tribute to the studio where they recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. I am a fan of all their songs, but Gimme Three Steps, The Ballad Of Curtis Lowe, and Simple Man are my favorites.

I am not sure about the Beatles singing Free Bird or Black Bird. I only know some of their popular songs as I am not a big fan of theirs.

Sorry about your Cardnials, but like your sister-in-law, I was rooting for the Steelers. Third quarter had me worried a little, but they brought it home in the end. GREAT game!

Hah, that's funny. This latest time, most of your Blog loaded right up, except the Banner was still loading. So, I started reading your reply. I went, "My masterpiece? I didn't make that one. That's Annette's." After I finished reading your reply, I scrolled up and went, "Whoa! Ohhh, so Annette changed the Banner from this morning." bigsmile Then your comment made sense. Well, it was a collaboration. You came up with the WordArt's color scheme.

Oh, they weren't MY Cardinals. I only wanted them to win because I didn't want the Steelers to win. I'm a Dallas Cowboys Fan all the way. I just didn't want my sister-in-law having bragging rights.

Hey, is it my imagination or does Rick Springfield have a resemblance to Billy Warlock in the Pic up on top?

SummerAngel Tuesday, February 3, 2009 1:28:30 AM

I had not noticed that before, but yes, AJ does resemble Dr. Drake...sherlock I wonder what Monica was doing back in the day zip that they didn't show us?

Suntana Tuesday, February 3, 2009 4:06:27 AM

Sooo, are Sonny & Claudia married already? As I said before, I don't watch GH anymore, but every once in a blue moon, I'll take a peek and / or my youngest sister will give me a bringing up to speed loose general recap of things. Are Spinelli & Maxie Port Charles' Super Couple now? Heyyy! Maybe that's what I need for my Valentine's Day Banner ... a Pic of Spinelli ... Uhhh, the Jackal & Maxie. wink

Great Blog.yes

I have been a fan of "Lynyrd Skynyrd" since my freshman year of high school.
I was devastated when the plane crash happened. My friends and I held tickets for the concert in Florida at the time. Needless to say it never happened.cry My heart goes out to the members for this most recent loss.
Billy Powell will be sorely missed, but never forgotten.sad

SummerAngel Tuesday, February 3, 2009 4:51:34 PM

Carlos, Sonny married Claudia/original Carley so he could get his foot back in the MOB door after he gave his organization to Jason Morgan.

smile lol wink Super Couple...Spinelli & Maxie...I will Google you up a Pic right away!!!

SummerAngel Tuesday, February 3, 2009 5:31:26 PM

lovinmalamutes, Thanks for the compliment. Carlos aka Suntana taught me everything I know about Blog Design, so I'll have to share it with him.

I hope you kept your concert tickets. Billy was an amazing pianist and will always be remembered for his talent and easy going nature. I will remember the band as good ole Jacksonville boys who loved to make people happy through their gift of music.

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes Wednesday, February 4, 2009 12:37:56 PM

We definitly kept our tickets. My friend Mistie still has them to this day!p up

In my opinion they achieved their goal. Every time I listen to their music it makes me happy!bigsmile heart


Have a Great Day!!party jester

Aww. I was thinking of you, and came to subscribe so I can catch new stuff.

Love. that song. I remember how powerful it was in Forrest Gump. Poor Jenny. But then again, I am a Jenny, so very sympathetic. bigsmile.

SummerAngel Monday, February 23, 2009 10:38:53 PM

Thanks Jen, I will work on some new stuff. My work schedule has been crazy lately. I'm having to go back and forth between first and third shifts. Lay offs are causing the production lines to have problems, but at least I still have a job.

Suntana Monday, February 23, 2009 11:09:36 PM

Heyyy, Annette! I see you're slowly starting to work on your Beach theme. Cool background!

With your work schedule being crazy, I take it your computer is still problematic? Let me know when you have completely fixed it so that I can toss you some experimental Banner to see if you can smooth it out with your Digital Editor. I told Jen I was trying to come up with a prototype Banner and theme for my niece. I did come up with a Banner, but the File Size came out too big. So, I have to go back to the drawing board.

SummerAngel Tuesday, February 24, 2009 1:12:39 AM

Hey Carlos, We can no longer use out personal or work computers for ANYTYHING personal anymore. irked I won't even chance it since the Union has not been successful at getting jobs back for anyone who has been fired lately. My computer is fixed. up I wrote some emails to Microsoft and Dell. A few days later, it was fine. Send me your banner and I will smooth it for you. heart angel

Suntana Tuesday, February 24, 2009 2:41:26 AM

Yep, don't take any chances, Annette.
Great to hear your computer is now fixed. And it sounds like you didn't have to perform a Windows Reinstall like I did. A lot of time you didn't have to waste. The next Banner I create, I'll send it your way. It'll be sometime within the next couple of days.

SummerAngel Tuesday, February 24, 2009 3:26:10 AM

Ok, I'll be looking for it. wink

if I have a convention, I have an estimated their wings to fly across the earth, go to places I never come to, go around the world, watching their lives, groin their countries

SummerAngel Saturday, March 21, 2009 10:39:09 PM

no1secret,

You too, will spread your wings and fly someday. Just like the Free Bird, you may even go around the world. happy
