Billy Powell on the Piano!

Today (06/03) is Billy Powell's birthday.  Born in 1952, Billy Powell played keyboards for Lynyrd Skynyrd from their 1st album (1973) through his death in 2009.  Including the "offshoot" Rossington Collins Band and Allen Collins Band, which bridged the time between the crash and the reforming of the band..

His piano was a key part of Skynyrd's sound, perfect counterpoint to their 3 guitar attack.
