We are so happy that Scott's guitar made it home.

She just made it home!

HUGE thanks to everyone responsible for getting this back to me. And to all of you who helped us spread the word.

I’d like to especially thank Constable Caroll, Officer Stallings, Tonya Chaney and everyone with the city of Monongahela, PA. You were all over this and I deeply appreciate your service! 🙏🏼

I’m happy to have her back!

Our vendors are getting hyped and Totally 80s is ready to play!! See you on Saturday!

30/08/2023

Unfortunately, Scott's guitar was stolen on Saturday night from the venue. We were on top of it as soon as it was realized. The Monongahela Police Department was quick to respond. With lots of help and cooperation from the police and our community, the guitar was recovered. It is now on it's way back home.

Many thanks for every person who helped in any way!

In 1977, at the height of their popularity - and just before it all came crashing down to earth - Lynyrd Skynyrd recorded the album "Street Survivors."

It would feature the classic Southern Rock songs "What's Your Name?" "That Smell," "I Know a Little," and "You Got That right," released after tragedy struck the band.

With the passing of guitarist Gary Rossington earlier this year, drummer Artimus Pyle is the lone surviving member of the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame band which ruled the 1970s.
He is the Street Survivor.

"I am the last living member of the band. It's not something that makes me feel good, but it is a fact I'm living with. I'm not going to change what I do."

What he does is continue to bring classic Southern Rock to the fans.
Pyle and his band The Artimus Pyle Band will bring the music of Lynyrd Skynyrd to the Monongahela Aquatorium this Saturday, Aug. 26. Six Gun Sally will open the show.

The Artimus Pyle Band will play Lynyrd Skynyrd music to perfect along with songs he and his sons wrote for the Street Survivor film.

Pyle joined Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1974 and played with the legendary band from 1974 until 1977.

They recorded five studio albums and one live album with such megahits as "Freebird" and "Sweet Home Alabama."

That all came crashing down on October 20, 1977, when their chartered airplane crashed, killing singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines, and backup singer Cassie Gaines; and seriously injuring the rest of the band.

Pyle, who sustained a torn chest cartilage, found his way through a creek and a field to a farmhouse to get help.

"I think about it (the crash) every single day, " Pyle said. "That was my third crash. I lost my father and his father-in-law in separate plane crashes."

Lynyrd Skynyrd reformed in 1987 for a tribute tour 10 years after the crash. Pyle, who was in Israel at the time, gleefully agreed to join the band. But he soured to the excesses of the rock n roll lifestyle by some of his band mates and left in 1991.

But he never stopped playing the music he loves. For the past 15 years, he has played with The Artimus Pyle Band. It features Brad Durden on vocals and keyboards, guitarists Scott Raines and Jerry Lyda and bassist Dave Fowler.

"We are a well-oiled machine," Pyle said. "There are no amplifiers on stage, they go through Kemper units - state of the art."

"My guys are regular businessmen. They don't do this for money; they do this because they love the music. I'm 75 and they're all like 55.

"I'd open up for the biggest drawing band in the world right not and we would bring it."

Artimus wrote the film "Street Survivors: The True Story of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash," which premiered in 2020 after legal battles with the current installment of Skynard. Music from the soundtrack of that film will also be featured in the Monongahela Aquatorium concert Saturday, Pyle said.

"I'm a pilot so I felt I was the one to tell the story," Pyle said. "The movie is very accurate. We did the best we could with all of the law suits. We had $1.8 million budget and released movie and soudntrack during the pandemic. My sons and I wrote songs for the soundtrack."

Some rock bands are timeless and legandary - The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin and Lynard Skynard.

"Thats my genre and my time, when we played big arenas," Pyle said. "They put us on tours with Foreigner and Journey. I got to meet Paul McCartney and hung out with Mick Jagr.

"It was a lot of fun. Every day was a blast. When I'm sitting behind my drums and I think about those guys all the time.

Pyle was able to coax Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Gary Rossington to play on a cover of "Freebird" on the upcoming Dolly Parton's latest album "Rockstar."
"I was able to get Gary on 'Freebird' with Dolly's producer," Pyle said. "Gary said his health wasn't very good. I said, 'Dolly's singing it' and he said, 'I feel better.'"

Rossington's famed slide guitar chopsare featured on Parton cover. Ronnie Van Zant's legendary vocals are featured on the song along with Pyle and The Artimus Pyle Band
"Gary sent me a text. He said, "'I love what Dolly did with Freebird. Ronnie would be so happy with it.' That text meant so much to me. I will cherish it forever."

The audience will be entering a rock n roll time machine next Saturday, going back to the mid 1970s.
"When we play, everybody knows the words," Pyle said.

Pyle had praise for opening band Six Gun Sally, especially their lead singer. Lori Bernish, who he likened Janice Joplin.

The shows at the Aquatorium bring out a wide range of age groups of fans, largely because of the music. Pyle has a message for those attending.
"For all of you vintage fans of the music, be sure to bring your children and grandchildren because they will see good music from that era for all ages."

The music is what still motivates Pyle.
"I'm about the music, not the money and the greed," Pyle said.
"Music is the language of life. "Being the drummer Lynard Skynard saved my life."

"I'm a left-wing liberal pot head" Pyle said with a laugh. "But the American Eagle takes a left wing and a right wing to fly straight.
"Freebird is the eagle."
