Original Skynrd Drummer Robert Burns Dies

I saw this on FB this morning. Very sad. :( However, the real original drummer (IMO) for Skynyrd was Rickey Medlocke, who left to form Blackfoot about the time Skynyrd scored their deal with MCA but, yes, I see and understand why Bob is considered their original drummer.

That band has had so many members pass expectedly and unexpectedly that it's not funny.....

Bob (which is the name, I believe, he preferred) and his family and the band are in my prayers. :(
 
LS are scheduled to play one of the casinos here in Phoenix in May or June. Wonder if it'll go on.....

Of course it will, seeing as the article states in the first line that Burns is "the former drummer and a founding member"

Interesting to read he had the finest of manners.
