A killer guitar player. As a fellow guitar player, his tone is one of my favorites. He has great style.

And of course, being Floridian, he's one of the "bragging rights" guitarists down here. Just like Texans with their worship of Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Thanks for mentioning and honoring Larkin Allen Collins Jr. SGT John " Mac " McConnell
I had the opportunity to see the original Lynyrd Skynyrd perform at Evansville, Indiana in May 1975 when I was stationed at Fort Campbell, KY.
They were a classic southern rock and roll band. It was so sad when so many died in the plane crash.
