A short clip from the Jukin With Gene documentary. The actual tree that Gary hit when he was wasted. A trivia fact...JoJo helped write “That Smell” but was never given any credit for it except by Gene Odom....probably because he was around close by or Ronnie told him that she helped. Actually Leslie and JoJo have never received a gold record for being in Skynyrd. Sad to say the least....©2006 Tony Beazley

I had added a section on the magazine for Tony's videos quite a while ago. Sometimes things get kind of buried over there, so I made a whole new category for them here. Tony spent a lot of time on this project. It sure would be great if he was able to finish this documentary he started so long ago but wasn't able to finish. The neat part of having this is it's all part of Skynyrd history now and some of these folks are no longer with us.
