The entirely awesome Billy Powell! I had the amazing good fortune to meet Billy in 1987 when he was playing in a Contemporary Christian group, Vision, at a festival that I co-promoted in Knoxville called Hearts on Fire '87. Billy needed some personal articles, and I took him to get them at Walgreens. We then went back to my house where we had some lunch. What a great, great man he was! Down to earth, humble and so entertaining! I heard a LOT of stories that Saturday afternoon. God bless you, Billy!
Sending this to our keyboard player... Been messing with this song for years but as a 5 piece we have trouble coordinating the build in the solo - this may just be the answer.
It's so instructive for a fan like me to know how they worked so hard to offer us this gem : Freebird. Specially when you know they were so young. William
For those wondering about the notes played during the free bird solo, the notes are *TREBLE* 1: D + F# + A + D 2: A# + D + F + A# 3: C + E + G + C *BASS* 1: G + B + D 2: A# + D + F 3: C + E + G I know this because my dad has met billy powell before! :]

Billy Powell and his piano, together, are one of the greatest stories in rock and roll history!!!
The GREAT Billy Powell!
This is awesome just so cool that's Billy
This demonstrates how much Billy contributed to the music outside his solos.
