God bless Hughie Thomasson,who passed away up in Brooksville, FL. here locally! I live about 20 miles from where he lived. The Outlaws will go down as one of the greatest rock and roll bands in American history! They never disappointed you live and always brought the house down! Hughie will be plugging in with Billy Jones,Toy and Tommy Caldwell, George McCorkle and Brother's Duane and Berry tonight! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClteT...Johnson%2Ehtmlwww.youtube.com/watch?v=XqJ_V...elated&search=

dude where have you been.... Sorry man! I have been going through a lot in my life this past year and have been really busy taking care of things, but I will be back around on a regular basis soon! I've missed you guys! I didn't hear the news about Hugie until I was driving home from work and I just had to come over here and check in. I had to pop in my Outlaws CD's into the car audio when I heard the terrible news. God we've lost some great ones here lately!

Hughie strongly supported two great causes, The Heroes Fund and The Angelus. If anyone wants to their respects to Hughie I would suggest supporting these funds in his name. The Heroes Fund provides assistance for veterans’ families who have financial or medical hardships as well as providing grants to other veterans’ organizations. The Angelus is a residential group home near Tampa for severely handicapped persons who are not able to care for themselves. All of the residents and students have cerebral palsy and all use wheelchairs. Charlie Daniels has an annual event here in Tampa called CharliePalooza which all proceeds go to the Angelus and I haven't missed it in 14 years now. They normally have the Outlaws and the MTB there. www.theheroesfund.org/Lynyrd Skynyrd is heartbroken by the loss of their brother, Hughie Thomasson, a guitar legend, and they join with all of the Outlaws family in mourning his loss. Each of them sends his/her heartfelt condolences to Mary and the family. Beginning tonight at the York State Fair (New York), Lynyrd Syknyrd will dedicate some or all of the shows on this leg of their tour to the memory of Hughie Thomasson. "Fly high, Freebird." Donna (Released with the permission of members of Lynyrd Skynyrd.) Very nice but bittersweet. It was 30 years ago that Hughie was dedicating GGHT to the Lynyrd Skynyrd Band

I cannot post it here, but my suggestion is put in "Roll Gypsy Roll" for Hughie and crank it up!
