Lynyrd Skynyrd keyboardist Billy Powell dies
« on: January 28, 2009, 06:48:33 PM »
Damn IMO this guy was good.

When I define a musician as "good"
I identify his playing as looking easy to do. and fun.

Thats how this guys playing sounded and looked to me.
He made it not only look easy but it looked and sounded like it was fun as hell to do.

Billy Powell played with a lot of groups, too.

56 is too young. Keep your weight down boys, or you'll follow suit.

That is true, but I'm sure the non-stop partying in the earlier years didn't help much   :D

Still, he will be missed  :cry

One of my favorite groups.  He made playing the keybords look easy.
