: After the Alarm Clock did a tour of the South
: with Skynyrd opening the shows, me and
: Ronnie did exchange phone numbers. A year
: later he said he'd be in L.A. on a certain
: date and wanted to go to a Dodger game. I
: bought us all tickets to the game. He didn't
: show up. I never heard from him again until
: October, 1972.
:
: 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!
