I've told the story before. It's a long one so I'll make it short. Sometime in the mid 80's we met a guy at the games who claimed he was Ed King. He kinda looked like how I remembered "Bear" but didn't really question it much. He partied with us the whole season. And by partied I mean it was the year Peruvian marching powder was a big thing in G'ville. He'd crash with us at friends house in Ocala and I stayed up all night with him once doing bumps and talking about music. He knew everything about Skynyrd for sure and talked like he lived it. I never found out if he was really Ed King though. He disappeared the next season '87 which coincidently is the year Skynyrd reunited.
