This is a guest post from Kevn Kinney of Drivin’ N’ Cryin’, written while on board Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Simple Man Cruise 2010.  The stage is yours Kevn:

Good morning sunshine
9,000 feet above the floor
my head is spinnin
not from the sea
but from the sounds of the next generation
blackberry smoke
runnin through my veins
hill country revue dancing in my head
high tide blues…
old school of fish
Bloodkin from my old hometown
Athens GA
It is no coincidence to me
This boat
Inspiration
It is a wonder
Get out of my comfort zone
And dig the inspiring sounds
On the sea
With the other 2000 folks
Roamin the deck
Lookin for a good conversation
A simple nod and a wink to that fella
I’ve passed a dozen times
a most awesome benefit concert
put together by Ricky Medlock
by far one of the coolest shows
to witness…I bear witness
to rumblin tumbling sounds
of the simple man cruise
like a f***in freight train
waves crashing off the bow
an honor indeed to be counted among one and all
rock on brothers and sisters
p.s. my friend Robert Kearns originally from the Bottle Rockets
on bass with skynyrd
FREAKIN AWESOME
Leon would be proud
