Look Who Crashed the Studio!
Hey! It's Artimus Pyle, former drummer with Lynyrd Skynyrd. Artimus was in town to promote his brand new solo album, Artimus Venomus. He had just played a well received show at the Mercy Lounge the night before he and his crew stopped by the studio to say hello to a frequent Vibe 56 producer, Elisha Hoffman.
By pure chance, I had listened to a radio interview with Artimus the previous evening. He survived the infamous Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash back in 1977. Clearly, Artimus has had some amazing experiences, but appeared to be well grounded and a positive guy.
I took a group photo of everyone that dropped by the studio that day. I took several photos, and noticed that our intern, David Wilson, was struggling with his photogenic abilities.
