Hi Tootie,

So nice to hear from you. I am sorry to hear about your dad. I lost mine and 1973. Happy to know your mom is still going at 101 yrs.

My memories are being at your dad's show are a bit hazy now but I recall enjoying the music so much. As I think I said before, when my dad would close the show he would sing tumblin tumbleweeds. Minutes before the closing of the show he would hand me and my brother the keys to the car and we would run out and turn on the radio and hear him sing the song. I don't think he did it every Sunday but I recall going there quite a few times. We were friends with Joanie and the Frontiersman who played there often
as well. Wonderful memories.
