This reflective account explores the individuals who helped establish Jacksonville, Florida, as a significant location in rock and roll history. The narrative follows the personal and professional journeys of Lynyrd Skynyrd and 38 Special, highlighting the early days when recording music was merely a dream. Larry Steele, a former stage manager and co-writer for 38 Special, shares his experiences growing up on Jacksonville's Westside, forming his first band with Allen Collins, and navigating the competitive music scene. He recounts his journey as a musician and the enduring friendships formed amidst the rivalry with Lynyrd Skynyrd. After years of performing in North Florida, including a brief period with Skynyrd in 1973, Steele joined 38 Special in January 1980. The narrative chronicles the band's evolution, detailing the challenges of emerging from Skynyrd's shadow while striving to develop their unique sound. It also addresses the profound impact of losing their friend and mentor, Ronnie Van Zant. Readers are taken on a journey through rehearsal halls, recording studios, and iconic concert venues across North America, Europe, and Japan, experiencing the highs and lows of life on the road.
