Teenagers Ronnie Van Zant, Bob Burns and Gary Rossington, who died in March of this year, met while playing on rival baseball teams in Jacksonville in the summer of 1964. An impromptu afternoon jam session in Burns’ parents’ garage inspired the trio to form a band. Shortly afterwards, guitarist Allen Collins and bassist Larry Junstrom arrived. The band went on to entertain Jacksonville audiences – first as My Backyard, then as The Noble Five, then as The One Percent, before finally being called Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1969. The origin of the name would be an adaptation of “Leonard Skinner “, the name of a male high school physical education instructor known for his strict policy prohibiting long hair on boys. Street Survivors album, by Lynyrd Skynyrd Reproduction Tragedy and coincidence In 1977, shortly after releasing the album “Street Survivors”, Lynyrd Skynyrd climbed into a Convair 240 model plane, nicknamed “Free Bird”, the name of one of the band’s classics, replacing the bus that took the group on tours, on what would be the band’s biggest tour. On October 20, the album had been in stores for three days and the plane was destined for Baton Rouge, in Louisiana, but crashed around 6:45 pm in a forest near Gillsburg, in the US state of Mississippi, after experiencing engine problems due to lack of fuel. Steve Gaines, Ronnie Van Zant, roadie manager Dean Kilpatrick, co-pilot William Gray and pilot Walter MacCreary died in the crash. However, a coincidence caught attention. The album cover showed the band in the middle of flames. After the accident, at the request of Steve Gaines’ wife, the album was withdrawn from circulation and put back with a new cover, where The limbs appear on a simple black background, making the original a rarity and highly sought after by collectors.
