The Michael Berry Show.

We lost Ed King on this day.

Five years ago.

One of the guitarist, the greatest American band of all time.

Leonard Skinnerd.

For now, Leonard Skinnerd.

Ed King played rhythm guitar, bass guitar, and drums on the recording of Sweet Home Alabama.

Pretty cool story.

That place called...

They had a place called Hell House.

And it was down by the swamp in Florida.

And they would go out there.

And you talk about a shack.

I mean, this was awful.

The guitarist would be playing while Ronnie Van Zant, lead singer, would go out to the water and think.

And he would come back in and they'd have a riff.

And Gary Rosington and Ed King on this song went back and forth with each other on this riff.

And Ed King tells the story that Ronnie walked over to him.

He said, don't stop playing while they're playing.

He starts whispering to him in his ear the words as they're coming to him.

And then once he kind of had a concept, he would go sit down in the corner and look down.

Never wrote anything down.
