Back in a past life, when I was a C&W singer wannabee, our paths kept crossing in odd ways and places. I saw him lose a weeks pay at Blackjack in Reno and a boot at a arty in Grand Rapids, Mich. I've always admired his music. He's been an incorrigible drinker & gambler and has lot's of other good traits. "Don't Take Her She's All I got" and "Slide Off of Your Satin Sheets" have been long time favorites.
