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.
