If Gary didn't break his finger on April 9th 1976, Steve would not be on the Live Album, OMFTR!!! Lynyrd Skynyrd's Live recording at the Fox in Atlanta, was originally meant to be in May, but Gary broke his ring finger and recording was delayed! Steve Gaines joined the band in June! With the Fox dates originally scheduled for May, 1976, The day before Skynyrd's April 10, 1976, show at New York's Beacon Theatre, guitarist Gary Rossington broke the ring finger on his left hand when he slammed a door on it, forcing the band to postpone the live album until July to allow him time to fully recover. This chance accident led the band to extend their current tour an extra month, which included a date in Kansas on May 11th 1976. Cassie Gaines, one of Skynyrd's recently added back-up singers, had been telling the band for months about her kid brother back in Oklahoma who played guitar. When the band passed through nearby Kansas City, Cassie convinced him to drive to Kansas City from his small farm just outside West Seneca, Oklahoma. Cassie arranged for him to jam with the group on their guitar rave-up version of Jimmy Rodgers' "T For Texas." Steve Gaines' impromptu performance ended their search for a third guitarist. Steve was asked to join them on June 3rd in Myrtle Beach. Steven Earl Gaines (September 14, 1949 – October 20, 1977) Asked to reflect on his success the day Street Survivors was released, Steve commented, "This is like a start of what I want to do. This is the beginning. I hope that I can be good enough to keep on going... This is all I ever dreamed about, you know? just doing this."
