Billy Powell

I just saw online that Billy Powell, the piano player for Lynyrd Skynyrd died yesterday, apparently of a heart attack. I saw him play a couple of times. The dude could tear up the keys.
Though the band today is pretty much just a tribute band, Billy was one of the few remaining original members. He was 56, which means the dude was in his early twenties when Skynyrd first hit it big. It's a widely known fact that he was a Christian, so I expect he's in Heaven right now.

Peace.
