All good as usual.

I did.   Probably not.  It's hard to explain but when you're "in the zone" not much else exists beyond what you need to exist.  So that dude didn't really exist at the time.

Do you know the story about how a foul ball during a baseball game led to the eventual formation of your favorite rock band, Lynyrd Skynyrd?

In 1964 a teenager named Ronnie Van Zant stepped up to the plate in a youth baseball game and ripped a foul ball down the first-base line. Two of his schoolmates were in attendance, one of whom got hit in the head by the ball and was briefly knocked unconscious. The kid’s name was Bob Burns. His friend was Gary Rossington. Van Zant didn’t know them well at the time, but the unnerving incident brought them closer together. All three of them, it turned out, were aspiring musicians, each playing in various garage bands, and in the following days they got together for some jam sessions.

Later that summer, Van Zant and Rossington formed their own band called The Noble Five. The following year, Burns joined them, and they changed their name to My Backyard. The band, which included other members, ultimately became known as Lynyrd Skynyrd. Van Zant was the lead singer (until his untimely death in 1977), Burns was the drummer (until he quit in 1974), and Rossington played the guitar. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006.
