The South Rises with a Red WindArtimus Pyle at the Red Wind CasinoSeptember 3, 2006 – By Derek Peace

Yelm, Washington - Legendary Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer, Artimus Pyle, came to the Nisqually Tribe’s RedWind Casino on Sunday night of Labor Day Weekend putting on an inspired, high-energy two-hour show ofgenuine Ronnie Van Zant era Lynyrd Skynyrd music. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame drummer was backed byAmerica’s number one Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band, Whiskey Creek who has been performing their tribute forover twenty-four years and it showed in spades on Sunday night. The band’s scorching performance consistedprimarily of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s multi-platinum One More From the Road album, augmented with several otherclassics including That Smell, I Know a Little, and What’s Your name.

The show started with an over-capacity crowd leaping to their feet as Artimus and Whiskey Creek drummerRandy Ramos walked on stage. Opening with a dueling drum solo, they launched the band into Gimme ThreeSteps and Call Me the Breeze. The thunder of two drummers playing their drum parts and fills in completeunison made it clear that Randy Ramos was driving with the only man that might ever teach him more about thedrumming he’d studied and played for the last thirty years. Artie proved his drumming is at the heart of all thoseSkynyrd classics and he left his drum set twice to introduce songs and share the history of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Thecrowd burst into applause when he said. “I am here today because of one man and one man only. That man isRonnie Van Zant”. Artimus made somber dedications to his former band members and friends who had died orhad been seriously injured in the plane crash on October 20, 1977. Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, CassieGaines and Dean Kilpatrick tragically perished as a result.

“The only reason we were finally inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame was because of people like you”,Artimus said to the energetic crowd. He then thanked all their fans everywhere for being so faithful over the lastthirty plus years, the radio stations that continue to play their music, and Whiskey Creek for keeping the musicalive. Subsequently, he dedicated That Smell as a warning to stay off drugs. Whiskey Creek’s lead singer, Terry

Allen, did a superb job of double drumming with Randy when Artimus came out front to sing Sweet HomeAlabama, thus closing the show. The response was an electrified standing ovation from fans ranging from sevento seventy years old. When the audience demanded an encore, Artimus came out and spoke reverently about theplane crash and the loss of his band member friends Allen Collins and Leon Wilkeson who had died since then.He dedicated Freebird to “my fallen friends, all our troops fighting in Iraq, the Native Americans that are heretonight, all Americans everywhere and anyone who wishes a special friend that they miss was with them thisnight.” It was an emotion-filled moment for everyone. Accompanied by Jeff Johnston on lead guitar, leadguitarist Johnny Cat Passarelli blistered the audience firing off Allen Collins’s solo on Freebird note-for-notewith enough force and conviction to fix a permanent smile of approval on the face of Artimus Pyle. With the aidof Joe Turnbull on keyboards and Bill Majkut on bass, Whiskey Creek kept the audience on their feet the entiretime. The outdoor event ended at 9:00 PM with hundreds of fans lining up to get autographs and have theirpictures taken with Ronnie Van Zant’s drummer.

“I’ve never before seen any artist like Artimus Pyle, said lead singer Terry Allen. “He would spend as much asten minutes with each individual asking them questions about themselves. He truly wanted to know each andevery fan who had been touched by the music of Ronnie Van Zant”. “There was an elderly fella, probably 70years old outside the security line,” says Allen, “As I walked by I saw he was shaking. With his head down heshyly asked me: “Could I see Artimus…, please”? What could I say? With the aid of his daughter we broughthim backstage and I put him near the front of the line. It still took nearly a half an hour for his turn and then allhe could vocally eke out was “I really like your gloves”. Artimus asked him his name then took the gloves offhis own hands, signed them and gave them to this man whom he had never met. There are no words that couldconvey the expression on that man’s face. Everyone in the tent had to take a minute and wipe their eyes afterthat one… Artimus included. He stayed until 1:00 AM to meet and talk to each and every fan. Truly a class actand the biggest heart I’ve ever seen!”
