People get so confused because they see the confederate flag and they think racist and then they hear a song like this and realize that flag does not make you racist. How you treat others does. Southern pride! Amazing song!
absolutely agree that how you treat others is the key. used to feel the same about the stars and bars, until I realized that as the Confederate battle flag, it stood for slavery... can't separate them. Just like I wouldn't ever be able to separate the Nazi flag from the Regime it stood for and the Holocaust carried out by those who saluted it.
What are the stars and bars in the Civil War? Hundreds of designs were submitted and on May 4, 1861, the First National Flag was adopted (there would eventually be two others). Nicknamed the “Stars & Bars,” it originally had seven stars for the first seven states to secede. It would eventually have 13 stars, representing all the states in the Confederacy.@@wolfdesikan1766
I grew up in St. Paul MN on a ridge overlooking the future I-94 from Mpls to St. Paul that would be built in 1956 or 57. A homeless black man moved into one of the houses that hadn't been torn down yet and every morning he would come out on the porch and preach-facing the capitol building interesting enough, the Word of God directed at the government. I used to watch him preach with my cousins. Eventually they moved him out and tore down the house and we had to move also. It took me a while but eventually I heard God's call into the ministry and preached for many years. and now I am retired. I fondly remember that old black preacher and his courage and his dedication to preaching the Word of God. He inspired me, like Curtis inspired Ronnie Van Zant. Thanks Shon for recognizing how those who go before us can affect the rest of our lives.
The band's website says that the song is based on a composite of people who actually lived in the Van Zants' original neighborhood in Jacksonville, Florida. Specifically, the country store "is based on Claude's Midway Grocery on the corner of Plymouth and Lakeshore [Blvd] in Jacksonville." The specific spelling of the surname comes from Ed King writing the liner notes for the Second Helping and deciding to name the bluesman after the Jewish Loew's Theatre.[7] Some of the sources mentioned include Claude H. "Papa" Hammer, Rufus "Tee Tot" Payne, Robert Johnson, and Shorty Medlocke,[8] the grandfather of Rickey Medlocke, Lynyrd Skynyrd's drummer during their 1970 tour and one of the band's current guitarists.[9]
I really enjoy watching you love this music! I can tell that you're not faking it.. you really love it and going on your Playlist!!! One of the best songs ever! It makes you remember someone from your childhood that had a impact on your life!!!! Thanks for a great reaction!❤
I’ve been waiting for your reaction to Custis Loew, pronounced Low. You did not disappoint! I love all their songs but this is one of my favorites and can relate to.
I was born in 1964 in Orlando, Fl, grew up in the 70s and 80s, still rocked hard in the 90s... I don't remember racism to be a thing back then... We all just jammed, laughed, cried, grew... WTF happened?? 😞 Well, I'm stiil the same, and I still love my fellow humans! 😊
See they were NOT racists. That song settles it even though they fly the southern flag. Theres a documentary about them that debunks the racist slur. You should have lived in the 70s and 80s but youre here now with an old school soul. Use it, your generation needs it.
My son went on a trip to Florida just to go to locations of Lynyrd Skynyrd. He’s got pictures of all the good stuff where the country store was and so much more. Really cool! At least I raised him to listen to good music!
FYI- Ronnie Van Zant, Used To Go Over ,To Ricky Medlocke,s House/ Screened In Porch And Rick,s Dad SHORTY MEDLOCKE,WHO PLAYED VARIOUS INSTRUMENTS, But The Harmonica Was This Local Bands Leaders Claim To Fame& Influenced Young Ronnie ,(Ricky Obviously) U Can Hear Him Play ,On Several Blackfoot Songs With Ricky! 🚆 "TRAIN,TRAIN"🚆 Is The Most Well Known One!! He (Ricky) Played On Some Early LYNYRD SKYNYRD Muscle Shoals Demos,(1970?) Before Forming Blackfoot,And Becoming A World Class Rock/blues 🎸 Guitarist!! His Father SHORTY MEDLOCKE Was Ronnie's Curtis Loew!
I grew up in the 60s in a small town in Alabama. Was black man named Joe, Banjo Joe, who sat in front of the store playing. Just an old wino but he could play. Died in the city jail one night.
Yes Curtis Loew Was a real person Ronnie Van Zant wrote almost all there songs about real events like Sweet Home Alabama is a response to Neil Youngs Southern man
I grew up on Lynyrd Skynyrd, Their records with the pre-plane crash lineup had no filler. I always really liked their funkier/bluesier side - T For Texas, I know a Little (My favorite Skynyrd song), I Ain't the One, Mississippi Kid etc
A dobro is an acoustic guitar, but it has an aluminum cone built into the body. Usually it has an elaborate front grill so they're really recognizable. Like a snare drum has a unique sound because of the hammock of wire underneath it, the dobro's sound is unique because of the "spider" inside the aluminum cone that add some extra resonance. Makes it a standalone instrument.
One of the things that always grabbed me about this song was that it was co-written by Ronnie Van Zant and Allen Collins. Allen is arguably one of the best guitarists to grace a stage. So truly a tribute to their origins.
I always saw vocalist Ronnie Van Zandt as the working man's singer. Guitarist Ed King once said of him "If you wanted to know what Ronnie was like,just listen to 3 of ANY Skynyrd songs and you would get a good idea. It's hard to believe all of the original members have passed,with founding guitarist Gary Rossington passing just last year. You're going to enjoy the LS rabbit hole. I won't suggest any song because it's like shooting a blimp hangar from 10 ft away with a shotgun. You just can't miss! And if you can find it watch the documentary called "If I leave here tomorrow". It gives the entire history of the band with old footage of live shows, interviews with band members ,other musicians,friends,family, road crew,etc. You'll really enjoy it.
This reminds me of when I was a kid. I'm from Jacksonville. It was a huge small town back then. I miss it. It was just like you vision with this song. Gimme three steps is another. The jug in Riverside.
If you like guitar solos in Lynyrd Skynyrd songs, then you definitely need to check out on of their jammin' songs called, "Call Me The Breeze". If you want a soulful blues story song with a dobro playing, then check out "Four Walls Of Raiford".
Your so right!!! It does remind you of small town life. I used to go listen to a man that played the drums when u was about 15 he said he used to play with James Brown. I don't know if that's true but he sure could play and that is some great memories. Love your reaction❤❤❤
I am not going to lie to you I am not a big Lynyrd Skynyrd fan but this is a song that I can’t listen to without crying just a bit. Whether it’s a true story or not it just speaks to us about the times we let our preconceived notions cause us to miss out on some of the good things in life.
Just recently ended a 20 yr relationship with a Nubian queen country girl & this was one of her favorite songs! Great thing is that album Second Helping was recorded right here at Studio One in Doraville Georgia where one of my favorite bands Atlanta Rhythm Section called home ✌💖☮
On your journey of Lynyrd Skynyrd look at the credits for the song writer. If the names VanZant, Collins or Rossington are involved you know it's going to be good. The main name being VanZant, Ronnie just had an ear for the right combination of lyrics and music. They wrote about life experiences and grew up together in Jacksonville Florida. The bands name was even taken from their high school gym teacher who would harass the boys about their hair being to long. They're all gone now but the music continues on in the here after and with young people like yourself discovering them.
This has always been one of my favorites because I can relate to it. Growing up there was always an older man who was not like your father or uncles, but as a boy you were drawn to them because they were different. They always seemed to have all the answers to life. Now when I think back to some of them I'm saddened because they are gone. The line " And on the day he lost his life that's all he had to lose" made me realize they lived life on their terms, not on how society thought they should. Makes me appreciate and admire them even more!
“Call me the Breeze” by Lynyrd Skynyrd is an elite song that has an epic guitar solo and an epic piano solo in it that will have you rockin Shon…you will love it !!
The store was called Claude's and then Sunrise was on the corner of Plymouth ave and Lakeshore Blvd. I grew up on Redrac St. one block south of the store .
Try to inspire! You nailed it! I'm from the Delta in Mississippi. We had "Sam Chapman"! Sorry to say, there were no videos of Mr. Sam until he was old. His hands and voice by then...well, not the same as when he was younger. What a blessing he was to us.
This song always makes me think of my childhood. Of small town music festivals where people would gather beneath the trees in the courthouse yard, sing and pick their guitars, banjos, fiddles, mandolins and ukuleles, and yes the dobro. An award winning dobro player was a member of my dad's gospel group. It was a childhood that I probably took for granted, and one that I miss dearly.
A dobro is a type of resonator guitar that you play, with it sitting flat in your lap. You can stand up and play one using a shoulder/neck strap, but you still play it in a similar position And instead of using your fingers to play the notes on the fretboard, you use a slide, which is usually a metal bar, but sometimes a glass bottle or metal pipe is used. The strings sit so far away from the fretboard, that you can't press them down with your fingers, so you have to use a slide. They sorta look like a guitar, with a car hubcap stuck on it 😆 They are mainly used in blues, Hawaiian and bluegrass music. If you want to hear some excellent dobro and other resonator instruments being played, check out any of the songs from an album called Tone Poems 3. It's some really amazing playing on it.
My favourite musicians of all time. They told memorable, often haunting tales set to the most beautiful, heart wrenching music. R.I.P you wonderful, talented humans.
DoBro is an old brand of resonator guitar. They had a very good sound to them. The company was founded by the Dopyera Brothers hence the monniker Dobro
A Do Do is a string instrument sometimes homemade but it is played laid across the knees. Curtis Lowe is a composite of the older men in their early lives that influenced their music interests.
One of their best songs is a little known song called " Every Mothers Son " everyone I've turned on to this Skynyrd tune has added it to their play list.
A dobro is a resonator guitar. Its a brand, Dobro but now it is an umbrella term for any resonator guitar with a wood body and a resonator, as opposed to the all steel variety.
Here is a couple songs that was not played as much as the others and would like to see you react to Mr. Banker, Cry For the Bad Man or four walls of reyford all three are different than what you have been reacting too they sound more bluesy

@@SAM-dg3vd Thats not the stars and bars. And equating the slavery as the entire reason for the Civil War is simplistic in extremis.
It was just part of their "outlaw" brand. They are southern so it makes perfect sense.
What are the stars and bars in the Civil War?
Hundreds of designs were submitted and on May 4, 1861, the First National Flag was adopted (there would eventually be two others).

Hey man it touches me to. I'm 64 and probably heard this 500 times. I'm a little teary eyed to. People are the fools.
One of my favorite songs of my life. I am 72 years old. Still love it.
One of my favorite songs of my life. I am 45 years old. Still love it.
Good job dog,70s 50,years they still trying to divide us❤😂🎉
You nailed it. I think youll like "Call Me The Breeze " "The Needle and the Spoon" Thanks for the reaction
One of Skynyrd's best... great story and awesome slide guitar... thanks Ed King(RIP).
I grew up in St. Paul MN on a ridge overlooking the future I-94 from Mpls to St. Paul that would be built in 1956 or 57.

And Ronnie has joined his guitar hero Curtis in guitar Heavan.
@@Billy1981VW Amen
Ronnie could make you feel it. Lots of people sing the blues, but he sure made it real.

" Give Me Three Steps " is another real life experience by singer Ronnie V Z. It's another good one.
I’ve been waiting for your reaction to Custis Loew, pronounced Low. You did not disappoint! I love all their songs but this is one of my favorites and can relate to.
I was born in 1964 in Orlando, Fl, grew up in the 70s and 80s, still rocked hard in the 90s... I don't remember racism to be a thing back then... We all just jammed, laughed, cried, grew... WTF happened?? 😞 Well, I'm stiil the same, and I still love my fellow humans! 😊
one of the best songs to start the day with 🙏
Skynyrd is a great rabbit hole to go down. Love watching folks here these greats for the first time.
See they were NOT racists. That song settles it even though they fly the southern flag. Theres a documentary about them that debunks the racist slur. You should have lived in the 70s and 80s but youre here now with an old school soul. Use it, your generation needs it.
Amen. You said it.
A dobro is a steal guitar that sits on your lap. That’s what you’re hearing in the background.
RIP to all the goats from Lynyrd Skynyrd. The greatest rock band that ever lived.
I think the guitar in this song is the closest to weeping I've heard.
The Lynyrd Skynyrd Band will always deliver great guitar playing.
This band has many songs like this. All their songs are excellent. Sweet Guitar Driven Southern Rock.
My son went on a trip to Florida just to go to locations of Lynyrd Skynyrd. He’s got pictures of all the good stuff where the country store was and so much more. Really cool! At least I raised him to listen to good music!
I love thisThis is my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song.Thank you for reacting to this.A Dobro is a lap steel guitar

This whole album is great every song jukes.
That Smell. Still haven’t heard their best. Although this could be #2 based on the Social Implications
Agree with you
The whole song is a harmonized guitar solo. One of my favorites too.
he said white curly hair! lol!!! please dont ever quit reacting to stuff like this!!! your the best!!
This song always gets me singing! Now you have a song that compares to freebird
This reminds me of when I was a kid. I'm from Jacksonville. It was a huge small town back then. I miss it. It was just like you vision with this song. Gimme three steps is another. The jug in Riverside.
Call Me The Breeze is another great song of theirs.
Lynard Skynard always hits. A song for every mood/emotion. Great reaction as always.
Still makes me shed a tear after 40+ years. Music is the best.
If you like guitar solos in Lynyrd Skynyrd songs, then you definitely need to check out on of their jammin' songs called, "Call Me The Breeze". If you want a soulful blues story song with a dobro playing, then check out "Four Walls Of Raiford".
My absolute most favorite song by Lynyrd Skynyrd since I first heard it 45 years ago. Enjoyed your reaction.
Straight vibe here bro .
Undeniable .
3 guitars throwing riffs back and forth is the shit
Lynyrd Skynyrd- That Smell
I love the message that the kids can find the good into what society deems “unworthy”
Your so right!!! It does remind you of small town life. I used to go listen to a man that played the drums when u was about 15 he said he used to play with James Brown. I don't know if that's true but he sure could play and that is some great memories. Love your reaction❤❤❤
And there's your cat back there in the window. I luv this.
"Call Me The Breeze " will make your day. Fr
Love this song so much and love your fantastic reaction! That’s exactly how this song makes me feel too!
Curtis Loew is really the famous blues man, Son House, who Ronnie Van Zant loved.
I am not going to lie to you I am not a big Lynyrd Skynyrd fan but this is a song that I can’t listen to without crying just a bit. Whether it’s a true story or not it just speaks to us about the times we let our preconceived notions cause us to miss out on some of the good things in life.

All this Band did was write great songs with Life lessons that we all need to hear. Check out That Smell or Things going on next.
A Dobro is a a Acoustic Guitar you lay on your lap and play with a slide on your finger
“Call me the Breeze” by Lynyrd Skynyrd is an elite song that has an epic guitar solo and an epic piano solo in it that will have you rockin Shon…you will love it !!
I agree. Even though it was a cover song for them, I actually prefer their version over JJ's. 👌💯
I second this recommendation highly! The music solos are amazing!!
JJ Cale song
This was one of their greatest. Great reaction...
There's a ton of Southern Rock you could check out. Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Wet Willie and Elvin Bishop just to name a few
This is the tip of the iceberg! ✌🏻
Yay! So EXCITED for this one!!! My FAVORITE of Thiers!!!❤❤❤
Supposedly Curtis was a fictional character, but the store was real and in Jacksonville, FL. It was recently torn down.
The store was called Claude's and then Sunrise was on the corner of Plymouth ave and Lakeshore Blvd. I grew up on Redrac St. one block south of the store .
Try to inspire! You nailed it! I'm from the Delta in Mississippi. We had "Sam Chapman"! Sorry to say, there were no videos of Mr. Sam until he was old. His hands and voice by then...well, not the same as when he was younger. What a blessing he was to us.
My favorite LS song!!
A dobro is a steel, blues guitar.
One of my favorite songs!
Dude...I enjoyed watching you enjoy this sing! It's one of my favorites by Skynyrd! Ronnie Van Zant was a great storyteller and lyrist.
Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of my favorite southern rock bands. Keep on rocking Skynyrd nation. Fly on free bird 🦅
I love love love this song!!!

This song always gives me the warm fuzzies.
I first heard this when I was around 12, it's always been one of my favorite songs ever. Love your reaction to this classic.
There were and are some of the best artists that never get recognized
They're my favorite band of all time.
My favourite musicians of all time. They told memorable, often haunting tales set to the most beautiful, heart wrenching music. R.I.P you wonderful, talented humans.
DoBro is an old brand of resonator guitar. They had a very good sound to them. The company was founded by the Dopyera Brothers hence the monniker Dobro
Probably my favorite Lynard Skynrd song
Gotta do Mississippi kid! And cheatin woman! By skynerd! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
A Do Do is a string instrument sometimes homemade but it is played laid across the knees. Curtis Lowe is a composite of the older men in their early lives that influenced their music interests.
It's a Dobro.
One of their best songs is a little known song called " Every Mothers Son " everyone I've turned on to this Skynyrd tune has added it to their play list.
This is our shared history and culture….it can be ugly and beautiful and it’s ours alone.
I love this Skynyrd ballad. 😎
Black, White, Red, Yellow. Doesn't matter. This song transcends the human spirit.
Now you need a little Tuesdays Gone in your life. Well Tuesday you see, oh she had to be free. Another classic.
A dobro is a resonator guitar. Its a brand, Dobro but now it is an umbrella term for any resonator guitar with a wood body and a resonator, as opposed to the all steel variety.
Here is a couple songs that was not played as much as the others and would like to see you react to Mr. Banker, Cry For the Bad Man or four walls of reyford all three are different than what you have been reacting too they sound more bluesy
Check out Steve Gaines singing Ain't No Good Life. He had a great voice. Had he lived, he would have rated a great guitarist.
Steve Gaines was about to help Lynyrd Skynyrd go to the next level. God had other plans.
Alot of their songs were about people they knew or things they went through growing up.
So they probably did know someone like Curtis as kids.
That slide guitar playing is otherwordly
Man was tearing up! I love it
