SUMMARY:Second Helping- The Original Lynyrd Skynyrd Show
DESCRIPTION:Second Helping: The Original Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute Show is the
  longest-running national Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute in the world. They are de
 dicated to bringing Skynyrd music to you as you remember it.\nSecond Helpi
 ng began in 1988 in Jacksonville\, Florida. Second Helping guitarist Chris
  McCallister was invited by his friend Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Ed King to
  a rehearsal at the Lynyrd Skynyrd rehearsal studio located at Larkin Coll
 ins’ office. During the rehearsal\, Chris asked the members how long the
 y planned to continue touring. Various Skynyrd members responded\, “Just
  this year as a tribute to our fans\,” Chris replied\, “What? Someone 
 ought to do a tribute to you guys!” At that point\, some Skynyrd members
 \, especially Gary Rossington\, laughed. Rossington said to McCallister\, 
 “What\, like Beatlemania?” McCallister was embarrassed because Rossing
 ton\, in fun\, began teasing him. McCallister returned home (Clearwater) a
 nd started writing a tribute show to honor Lynyrd Skynyrd. The result was 
 the first-ever national tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Since 1988\, Second Hel
 ping has worked with a few of the Skynyrd guitarists on parts of songs.\n\
 nSoon thereafter\, Second Helping began selling out shows statewide in Flo
 rida. Second Helping was listed as one of JAM magazine’s top bands in Fl
 orida. Booking agent Richard Lustig signed\nthe band around 1989\, and the
 y began touring the United States\, Canada\, and Mexico immediately. The b
 and’s popularity soared after appearing on MTV. The concert was a benefi
 t\nfor Chris Oliva\, former guitarist for Savatage. The band\, by 1989\, h
 ad reached national attention and has enjoyed its success ever since.\n\nI
 n 2023\, the current Lynyrd Skynyrd lead singer\, Johnny Van Zant\, said\,
  “I want to wish Second Helping a happy 35 th Anniversary. Thanks for ke
 eping that Skynyrd music alive. You’ve been\ndoing it for a long time. G
 uys\, we appreciate ya!”\nSecond Helping is more than a tribute band\; i
 t showcases classic Skynyrd music. Expect an evening that will bring you b
 ack to a time of youth\, fun\, and hope.
