Well, if I write this I guess it will make it true. Last night I dreamt that he walked into the room and I rushed to his side and took his arm. I said Do you know what they've been saying about you?
He chuckled. Yes, I heard, he said.

Don was, quite simply, the best musician in his class that I've ever heard. He sang the old country songs, never had much use for the new country or most of today's country singers. He did like Alan Jackson though and a few others.

Don was an extraordinary historian of country music; many, many times we would ask him about a certain song or singer and he would almost always know the song and what year it was recorded, by whom it was written and what kind of success it had had.

He sang impeccably. Rarely ever did he forget words or bobble a line and he sang in a true - a magnificent- voice.

You can read about him by googling 'Don Drew, Juneau'.

I will miss him.
