 Following Clarke 's death , Terry Jones Rogers resurrected the Byrds tribute act , with guitarist Scott Nienhaus and former Byrds Skip Battin and Gene Parsons on bass and drums respectively . Performing under the banner of The Byrds Celebration , the tribute group toured extensively throughout the remainder of the 1990s , although Parsons was replaced by session drummer Vince Barranco in 1995 and Battin was forced to retire due to ill @-@ health in 1997 . Since 2002 , Rogers and Nienhaus have continued to tour as part of the band Younger Than Yesterday : A Tribute to the Byrds , along with bassist Michael Curtis and drummer Tim Politte .
