When Folk Legacy first decided to record me I didn't know how to absorb the honor.The second time I still didn't know what to do with it. It was so far out of my reach I couldn't even see it.
Over the years Sandy and I developed a very special friendship, and I got to know the other side of him. His humorous observations, his politics and his caustic wit that he would often show me fit right in with my own. I was honored that this genuine gentleman had a side to him that I never saw him share with anyone else.
One of the most intelligent and knowledgeable people I've ever known, plus, one of the wittiest. I'll never stop missing him. Gotta quit, can't see.
