I had moved to the South (North Carolina) a full year before Van Zant called me. I was drawn to the South by the Allman's music...but prior to that, the Alarm Clock had done a 4 month tour of the South and I was TOTALLY CAUGHT UP IN IT.
I'd been in the South before, but only on the Beach Boys tours. When I got a chance to travel the back roads, explore the area and take my time, I was hooked. I couldn't wait to move there and I did soon after that tour was over.
I was playing this club in Greenville and Ronnie called one day saying Leon had quit and he needed a bass player. The next day he drove up to get me. That's how I became the 2nd luckiest guitarist in the world. The reason he thought of me when Leon left is that I played a bit of bass in the "Alarm Clock", especially on many of the recordings. Later, as you know, Ronnie called me the worst bass player he'd ever played with. !!!!!!!!!! THE NERVE!
