Coach Leonard Skinner's Final Public Appearance ~ Featuring Gene Odum!

Come out to Box Seats on Thursday, June 11th and get a piece of rock history in the form of a Coach Leonard Skinner autograph. For those of you who don't know the history of the band, Lynyrd Skynyrd got their name from Coach Leonard Skinner at Lee High School on the westside of Jacksonville. Coach Skinner later became friends with the band and introduced them in concert on occasion. Sadly, Coach Skinner has developed Alzheimer's. His son, Leonard Skinner along with Gene Odum want to take Coach Skinner on a trip before the disease gets worse. To raise money for the trip, Coach Skinner will be making one last public appearance that night to sign t-shirts at our gig. There will be a limited number of Coach Leonard Skinner t-shirts available for $20 so get there early and purchase a collector's item! COACH SKINNER WILL BE APPEARING FROM 8:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.

Gene Odum was lead singer Ronnie VanZant's best friend and body guard. He also was in the plane crash and has the scars to show for it. Gene wrote a great book about Lynyrd Skynyrd entitled "Remembering The Freebirds Of Southern Rock". Gene will also be at Box Seats on Thursday, June 11th selling and autographing a limited number of books. I enjoyed this book so much that I purchased several copies and gave them to friends. If you are a Skynyrd fan, don't miss the chance to get an autographed copy!
