Every time I hear these stories, Gene adds more details. Keep up the interviews Gene. We love to hear them. Looking good. Great to see you still going strong.
I wonder if it was Ronnie? Then Gene said that just as I was writing this. Can but didn’t make that up . I sure hope Skynyrd is in Heaven when I get there.
Uncle Gene, next time you anywhere around McComb Mississippi let's go make us a fishing trip at Percy Quinn, in tribute in memory to the good old days when you and Ronnie used to go fishing together!
I wish I was alive back then. Being born in 66 and actually hearing Skynyrd for the first time in 73. I can say I’ve been a lifelong fan. But to be born a decade plus earlier would have been incredible.
Gene I really believe that you and Artimus Pyle are still good and healthy and living a long life because ya'll stayed away from alcohol and drugs all those rocking days with Lynyrd Skynyrd.....thats why Ronnie wanted you to try and help clean the band up! Good for you and Artimus!....a healthy life is a long life!!
Gene is a good man and a true friend of Ronnie’s ! Gene was someone he could trust and someone who would tell him straight up not someone who would tell him what they think he wanted to hear ! That is worth more than you can imagine!
I always look forward to watching video's with Gene. Love to hear all of the stories about my favorite band. I am only a few hours away from Jacksonville and if I ever get well enough I would like to go on a tour with Gene. Does he do tours with the general public?
Y'all are doing a great job with this channel,...Professional,...you know what you are doing,...and its Wonderful you are helping Gene,...a solid guy. dave in NC
How could I become involved in preserving the local Skynyrd landmarks? I live off of Lenox and Lane and want to make the Skynyrd legacy a landmark attraction in Jacksonville.
I grew up in Fleming Island (back when it was country!). I believe the Hell House would have been off Russel Rd, just west of Hwy 17. This spot was always discussed among locals back when I was a kid.
Wendell Owens told me about Gene and living near him in Jacksonville. Wendell Owens introduced me to The Late Lil Ronnie And his brother Robbie Morris!
Hi Gene. Just curious. Do you still live in generally the same neighborhood as you did when you were younger or did you eventually move out of Jacksonville? Sounds like you have a lot of fond memories of Jacksonville. I'm from Michigan and a big Lynyrd Skynyrd fan. Ronnie sounded like he wanted to get out of "Shanty Town" as you say.
Gene Odom is the Real Deal !! I could listen to his stories for days & days !

Gene Odom is the MAN and he could certainly throw hands and knuckle on back in the day too. Right On Gene.
I love listening to Gene's stories
Eagle flying over wow says it all for me

Did any of the families ever sue the owners of the plane?
Never heard Gene mention a suit. Anyone comment on that?
Been listening to L S seems I was 10 years old
So Gene , Those guys that Ronnie wanted to be their singer, Was that The Back Alley Blues band ? They played all around Jax at the time ..
Gene you was the bad ass man back in the day I heard that you didn’t put up with nothing
Hanes need to pay Gene to be a brand ambassador.
And loved my L S band the best of music history
After it rained, they'd go into the cow pasture close by and pick the special mushroom's and make Psilocybin tea...
Destiny they found the perfect place to do what they needed fishing loud music nobody around
👏👏💯💯👏👏
I like my cucumbers pickled...
