Tribute to Gary Rossington, featuring Sheldon Zoldan
Manage episode 415767235 series 3554502
Gary Rossington's love for baseball launched him into a music career that lasted to the end of his life. This tribute to Rossington, written and recorded by longtime writer/editor Sheldon Zoldan, is one of 44 short yet illuminating episodes about significant figures in the music industry who passed away in 2023.
Sheldon also writes Song of the Day, a music-related story sent daily to an email list of subscribers. All of those stories and these tributes include links to the featured songs. Here, you can link to “What’s Your Name” on YouTube. (To get on Sheldon's Song of the Day subscriber list, email shzoldan@comcast.net with the subject line ADD ME TO SOTD.
Amazon carries four books about Rossington available on Kindle and in paperback, apparently all published immediately after his death. You can go to the chapters to see the cover of one of the books — by Tony Alexander — which has a nice shot of Rossington.
Audio engineer Mike Villegas (who’s also a musician) and I are publishing all 44 tributes in the coming weeks. Hope you enjoy them.
This is Kate Jones. Thank you for listening to the show!
