Skoots Lyndon, a long time Steve Morse’s guitar tech, who worked with him in both Deep Purple and Dixie Dregs, has passed away.

Just found out that our beloved Skoots Lyndon has died. He just did the last Dixie Dregs tour and worked many years with DP and as my guitar tech. Skoots older brother Twiggs died decades ago, late 80s while on tour with us. We all loved him and will miss him.

Skoots, my good friend, is gone. Sad news indeed, I’m devastated. A kinder, more generous, good-hearted man you couldn’t wish to meet. He changed my life and my music. My thoughts are with those close to him and all his many friends.
Rest in peace, Skoots.
Oh me. RIP. Twigs died when his parachute failed to open didn't he? In Duaneville, NY or something like that.
So sad to hear. I had the extreme good fortune of having met Twiggs on one occasion and Skoots on a couple. Both men are absolute legends in my book! Condolences to all family and friends.
Wasn't there another Lyndon brother who would post here on
the forum from time-to-time?
That would have been John Lyndon. RIP Skoots and Twiggs.
And here is a great story about Twiggs from John.
I met Twiggs once. Seemed like a helluva guy.

These old times and early days, the People and the stories, are just so mystical and magical to me! I think because I missed everything by just a few years, I was 7 when my dad and his buddy hitched rides 800mi, to Byron for the festival, these folks touched so many lives along the way, so many like me, without knowing it..........Peace
