Good Sunday Morning my RP Brothers and Sisters!
Our Good friends COL Mikel J. Burroughs and SP5 Billy Mullins are on the road again and it looks like it could be a long traveling day... I found a video with motorcycle backdrop riding scenes that certainly may fit the bill for the traveling our friends are doing for a tremendous cause... and give us some idea of what they see as the travel down that long long highway to their destination! The song is "Call Me The Breeze" by the Lynyrd Skynyrd band... It is a little wild in spots, but I think both Mikel and Billy will like the Tribute to their RIPRIDE4Vets!!! <---------------Safe Travels Mikel and Billy!!! ---------------->
Song Background:
"Call Me The Breeze" was released in the spring of 1974 on Lynyrd Skynyrd's second album, Second Helping. This is my favorite tune on the album and also one of my all time favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd songs. I always thought the song was written by Allen Collins and surprised to find while I was researching for the video, that it was actually written by J.J. Cale.
This is the first of several "motorcycle" or "road" songs that I've been wanting to do for quite some time and the video was actually mostly more psychedelic (you can still see the bits that remain from the original edit), but those elements/sequences fell out the more I messed with it. Really I probably should have chopped 'em all out since they now seem kinda outta place in the vid? I'll go full on psychedelic with some of the unused effects for one of the others later.
Till then....keep on "blowin' down the road"!

Good afternoon, my friend Sgt (Join to see) and thank you for posting the audio track of Lynyrd Skynyrd performing their cover of John J [J.J.] Cale's song "Call Me The Breeze" from the 1974 album Second Helping.
The accompanying video of motorcycle riders riding on the left side for much of the video is interesting.
J.J. Cale was a wonderful guitarist IMHO and an okay blues singer :-)
I saw and heard Leonard Skynyrd play live at Evansville, Indiana in May 1975. Excellent concert :-)
Call Me The Breeze written by John J. Cale
Lyrics
"Call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
Well now, they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load
Ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no changes in me
Well, there ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no changes in me
And I ain't hidin' from nobody
Nobody's hidin' from me
Oh, that's the way its supposed to be
Well, I got that green light, baby
I got to keep movin' on
Well, I got that green light, baby
I got to keep movin' on
Well, I might go out to California
Might go down to Georgia, I don't know
Well, I dig you Georgia peaches
Makes me feel right at home
Well now, I dig you Georgia peaches
Makes me feel right at home
But I don't love me no one woman
So I can't stay in Georgia long
Well now, they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
Well now, they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load
Ooh, Mr. Breeze"

When I saw the side of the road the camera was apparently on, it threw me off a little, so not sure what was going on there LTC Stephen F.!!! Puzzling! Thank you once again for your level of detail... It is much appreciated my friend!
