I I had none I would have lived this long I would have taken better care of myself. , it's all good. Dropped 55 lbs in 2021 because the pandemic just pissed me off and depressed because I make my living in live entertainment. Have since I was 18 years old. 2020 sucked for all in show business.

Don and his original boys; Donnie Van Zant, Jeff Carlisi, Jack Grondin, Steve Brookins and Larry Junstrom are THE .38 Special I grew to love!
tru dat
Thank you, & I personally met them in the 80's on tour in Birmingham & just can't really get into these new guys without Donnie & Jeff
Saw 38 Special open for Rush on the Permanent Waves tour
That would have a been a great show!
WOW! Where was that?
@@johnpatterson4272 Lane County Fairgrounds- Eugene,OR. 3/16/80.

Glad you enjoyed it!
They need to get the original menbers back for a limited tour.

I’m just curious as to why Don didn’t mention Jeff Carlisi when talking about the original band members.
He's a Jerk.
To be clear, I'm talking about Don... He probably takes credit for Carlisi's solo's and song writing.
Love 38 but it AINT 38 w/o Jeff and Donnie…🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Amen to that 🙏
38 is timeless. Still sounding great!
Don Barnes is the man! So much talent!
This isn't 38. It's a money grab
.38 Special my ass! They got Don Barnes and they play the songs but without Donnie, Jeff, Larry, Steve and Jack it’s not .38 Special!
