Toby Keith's death was mentioned at a zoom singaround I participated in tonight, so I looked him up.

That is a very sad story. I've heard a couple of accounts in the last few days.

I loved his "As good as I once was" but the song really needs to be seen/heard with the official video for maximum impact.

I certainly wasn't a fan of his jingoistic Pop Country but I'm saddened to hear of his end of life struggle. Hopefully he's resting easy now.

Tunesmith, that's a great piece of videography, thanks.

I dislike some of his songwriting. But I'll credit the worthiness of "Beer for my Horses", and "I Love This Bar" (preferably without its matching video).

Maybe this song is a good tribute to Toby Keith: Weed With Willie

Toby and Steven Colbert were the best of friends.
