He was so great. Looking For Love is one of my all-time favorites.

I could never hear that song in quite the same way, after hearing Buckwheat's version...

Had some good times at Gilley’s club in Stinkadena back in the day. Things changed a lot when the movie “Urban Cowboy” came out but not for the better.

Haven’t heard the word Stinkadena in years. When I was growing up not too far from there we’d call it that. Those Urban Cowboy, Astrodome, Oilers days are some of the best times in this great country of Texas. RIP Mickey and thanks for the memories.

Same as with Willie Nelson (89)

Willie is still on tour. He's booked in New Braunfels on May 27. He's not dead.

I understand. None of the performers I listed are presently dead.

Willie has a new album out this year called A Beautiful Time. I’ve heard several very good songs from it.

Mickey seemed to be the normal one of the three.

When you are a musician or a performer, it’s not what you do. It’s who you are.
