Thanks, Stilly. That article doesn't even say the half of it. I recognize that every human is unique but Don was- well, unique.

I never heard him hit a false note and he had tremendous range. He sang everything from Buck Owens to Slim Whitman and round and round about. His favorite singer was Faron Young but he gave equal value to every singer's songs he sang.

I have his voice recorded on a lot of CDs and I'm thinking of combining them into fewer ones and giving them to people, especially at the memorial we are planning.

I met his mother a couple of times when she visited him from New Jersey and Don brought her to the house. In due time I want to find out if she'd like a couple of CDs of him.

Damn.
