Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Austin Average	#1 by Austin Schrauben at Jul 24, 2006 at 3:56 PM EST
	This song is about a mixture of people.. Shorty Medlocke, and "Teetot"... the black man who taught Hank Williams how to play the guitar.

No Picture maximus Average	#2 by maximus hyrule at Sep 10, 2006 at 10:49 PM EST
	one of the four songs, that no matter how many times i listen to it, i can feel it

No Picture Chris Rhythm Player	#3 by Chris Marcoux at Mar 3, 2007 at 4:57 PM EST
	used to be a guy i worked with alot like `ol Curtis. he was old, dirty, and incapable of doing much besides push a broom after everyone else was done with work. he didn`t get alot of respect from many people, but i thought he was great. he was the funniest old man i`ve ever known, and could play the guitar faster and better than anyone else i`ve ever seen. he had a thing for oranges, so i`d give him mine from my lunch, then i could turn on the radio, turn it to any song and Old Billy would be playing right along with the radio in no time. incredible man.

No Picture Mike Average	#4 by Mike heidkamp at Jun 7, 2007 at 3:55 AM EST
	The best skynyrd song
