This is a good thread.It's my understanding that, despite a bit of dimished range and power, he's basically healthy, and doing more road work these past few years than ever.
I don't think I like touring or big crowds.
He's my son's favorite, his 21st birthday included a GL concert. He was not the only younger person there.
He played my request (& favorite GL tune)"Cherokee Bend" (well, actually several people requested it).
One of his more recent tunes, "I Used To Be A Country Singer"
has a wonderful chorus that goes:And she said,
I used to be a country singer.
I could sing a mean Patsy Cline.
My husband, he could yodel like Wilf Carter.
Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine.
I heard that and thought, like many I suppose,
"I know that person, I've met her a dozen times."Well captured, Gord (well he might be a silent catter)!
