30 years ago yesterday


We almost forgot about this and meant to mark yesterday as the 30th anniversary of the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash.
It used to be most of us got into this life through an interest in the music business and we note the passage of time by what music was popular. Some of us only heard this music at our parent's knee, some on an oldies station and others were there in the flesh when they were playing.
This event is important to remember because of the loss of life for some and the path changing event it was for others. It is easy to look at the business we are in and forget at times how dangerous it can be, trying to make deadlines, no pun intended.
Honor the memory of the departed and take steps to prevent becoming one of them. We are a special breed and the toll this lifestyle takes can be devastating. Enjoy each day of being part of a business that brings entertainment to others and way to make a living to others.
Stay safe...
