Believe it or not, this is why I play the blues. I listen to it now, and I can hear all the blues and boogie licks, but when I was in high school all I could here was rock and roll:-) Billy Powell is the piano player, and I worked and worked on that freaking piano solo for most of my high school years:-) It certainly made my right hand, but I had no clue what to do with the left, and apparently Billy didn't know either if you watch the video:-) Of course, when I got into college I stumbled on to one of those counterfeit history of rock and roll cassettes printed in Spain, and I heard some familiar piano licks. I thought WTF? I took out the cassette and looked to see who it was an it was Otis Spann!
Enjoy my boyhood idols Lynard Skynard playing They Call Me The Breeze.
