The controversy was 15 years after the crash. Arti was going to be the RCB drummer but as LSS points out, he had that nasty motorcycle accident just before he could join them, and his injuries took a very long time to heal. Arti did join the reunited band on the Tribute tour and stuck around until (I think) '91 or '92, which brings us close to 15 years after the crash. Arti after his motorcycle accident. He obviously wasn't going to play drums anytime soon...

He was a drummer for .38 Special for a while. I think they still had their 2 drummers then. Not sure what years that was but he was in some of their music videos too.

Here is an excerpt from a discography, which explains which album Artimus and Billy were working on with .38 Special. www.rockdetector.com/artist/united+states/florida/jacksonville/lynyrd+skynyrd"....1979 to 1987 It took a long time for LYNYRD SKYNRYD members to emerge from the horror of the air crash. The band members, known as a hard drinking act since their inception, retired into the shadows fuelling their desperation with drugs and alcohol. Pyle and Powell guested on .38 SPECIAL's 'Special Delivery' album. LYNYRD SKYNYRD's first bassist Larry Jungstrom joined the ranks of .38 SPECIAL for their next record 'Rockin' Into The Night'. Leslie Hawkins joined WET WILLIE as backing vocalist the undertook the same role for MOLLY HATCHET. Pyle, Powell and Wilkeson also joined in on the recording of the ALIAS album 'Contraband' in 1979. ALIAS included Powell's brother Ricky, ex RUNNING EASY men drummer Derek Hess and guitarist Billy Lee Harwood, both later to figure in the LYNYRD SKYNYRD story. A 'best of' album, titled 'Gold And Platinum', sold over a million copies proving the public demand for LYNYRD SKYNYRD was still strong..."

I looked for info on that and could not find Billy or Arti playing on that, but I did see that one of the songs was co-wriited by Dan Hartmann. He was the bass player for the Edgar Winter Group! Kinda surprising!

From left to right... Artimus' niece (?)-Christopher Pyle-Layla Powell-Chad Reed I am about 99.99 percent sure that Christopher Pyle was the kid between RVZ legs at the OMFTR photo shoot...

what year is the pic from. looks like the Stern show I really don't know. I think you're right about one of the photos being from the Stern show. I see Sirius in the background. I didn't even notice until you mentioned it. I really need to put my glasses on when I'm posting.

That's me in the Lynyrd Skynyrd Florida Whiskey shirt. My good friend Nancy from WV. Drove up from Athens,TN to see the show. Love ya Artimus!!
