WHEREAS: In 1964, a group of Jacksonville teenagers - Ronnie Van Zant, Bob Burns, Gary Rossington, Allen Collins and Larry Junstrom - formed a band they called My Backyard; and WHEREAS: After numerous local and regional gigs and a few different monikers, the group finally settled on the name Lynyrd Skynyrd, a mocking tribute to their former gym teacher at Robert E. Lee High School, Leonard Skinner; and WHEREAS: By 1973, the band had achieved national recognition following the release of its debut album, (pronounced 'leh-'nerd 'skin-'nerd), which featured the anthem "Free Bird"; and WHEREAS: Furthering its status as a pioneer of the Southern rock genre, Lynyrd Skynyrd's sophomore album, Second Helping (1974), included one of the band's biggest hits, "Sweet Home Alabama"; and WHEREAS: On October 20, 1977, tragedy struck when three band members died in an airplane crash, including founding member Van Zant. A decade-long hiatus followed; and WHEREAS: When Lynyrd Skynyrd announced a reunion tour in 1987, it included Van Zant's brother, Johnny, as lead singer, and five former members of the band, including one founding member, Rossington. The reunited group continued to make music, releasing nine more albums through 2012; and WHEREAS: On May 4, 2018, Lynyrd Skynyrd embarked on the "Last of the Street Survivors Farewell Tour." The band makes a last stop in its hometown, Jacksonville, on September 2. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LENNY CURRY, by virtue of the authority vested in me as mayor of Jacksonville, Florida, do hereby proclaim September 2, 2018 as LYNYRD SKYNYRD DAY in Jacksonville and recognize the band's historical and indelible impact upon our city, the Southern rock genre, and music as a whole.

This is my first time to be a Sire, but with my accent, Rich Garlinghouse, the Imperial Potentate around here, thought I’d be perfect . 2 . and, Rich, thanks for letting me do it without an interpreter. Rich says I’m the only member of the Club who pronounces his first name with three syllables. [For Thursday continue with head-table remarks, then end; Resume remarks after first musical number in Jinks Theater Thursday night. Downstairs script begins with thank yous after “South’s Gonna Do It Again.] [For Friday Night, continue straight through.] -- 3 We are here tonight to honor and appreciate Southern Rock. One of this genre’s pioneers, Greg Allman, believes the term “Southern Rock” is redundant. “Sort of like ‘rock rock.’” After all, rock & roll began as southern music. There’d be no rock without the blues, created in the Mississippi Delta by the original bluesmen, like Charlie Patton of Dockery Farms, and Hazlehurst’s Robert Johnson, who, legend has it, sold his soul to the devil to learn to play the blues guitar, down where Highway 49 intersects with US 61.
