ORIGIN OF OUR FREE BIRD CHAPTER
BACK IN THE EARLY 1970s, WHEN THE MOTORCYCLE
CLUB TURF WARS WERE STARTING TO GET VIOLENT
OUR EARLY BROTHERS HAD TO DECIDE IF WE WERE
REALLY READY TO FACE THIS KIND OF CHALLENGE,
WHEN FULLY KNOWING THAT SOME OF US COULD
DIE IN THE ONGOING BOMBINGS, NIGHTLY DRIVE-BY
SHOOTINGS & BLOODY SKIRMISHES WE FACED, AS A
RESULT OF OUR WANTING TO BE A RECOGNIZED
CLUB IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. AFTER AGREEING
TO STAND-UP AND FIGHT FOR OUR BROTHERHOOD
AT ALL COSTS. MOST OF OUR BROTHERS MADE OUT
WILLS, WHO GOT WHAT AND HOW WE WANTED TO
BE BURIED, AMONG OTHER THINGS. DURING THIS
PERIOD, RONNIE VAN ZANT, SINGER OF A POPULAR
AND RISING TRIBUTE BAND LYNYRD SKYNYRD, HAD
WRITTEN & RECORDED A SONG CALLED FREE BIRD,
WHICH HE DEDICATED TO DUANE ALLMAN OF THE
ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND, WHO HAD BEEN KILLED
IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT IN OCT 1971. THIS
SONG WAS AN INSTANT HIT WITH OUR BROTHERS,
MAINLY DUE TO THE TITLE, AND WITH THE OPENING
LYRICS "IF I LEAVE HERE TOMORROW WILL YOU
STILL REMEMBER ME" WAS IF THE SONG HAD
ACTUALLY BEEN WRITTEN FOR US. SO MOST OF OUR
BROTHERS HAD ADDED IN THEIR WILLS, THAT THIS
SONG BE PLAYED AT THEIR FUNERALS. OVER THE
YEARS THIS RECORDING HAS PLAYED, OFF IN THE
BACKGROUND, OF SOME OF OUR FUNERALS, WAKES
& PATCH BURNING CEREMONIES. IN RECENT YEARS
IT WAS OUR EUROPEAN CHAPTERS WHO STARTED
REFERRING TO OUR DECEASED BROTHERS, AS
THEM BEING IN THE FREE BIRD CHAPTER. SO FREE
BIRD CHAPTER BROTHERS RIDE IN PEACE, YOU ARE
TRULY WARLOCKS FOREVER FOREVER WARLOCKS!!
