As long as Zamfir, Master of the Pan Flute still lives.

No disrespect intended, but I thought he died years ago.

The best was the hippy releasing the dove, causing the Martians to shoot it down and start attacking.

Stupid Hippies!

I think Kaufman was a genuine admirer of Whitman.

I’m sure Rush will play his peace update theme song as a tribute.

Somewhere at home I have his Christmas album on vinyl.
Better put mama’s good crystal away before he starts hitting them high notes on O Holy Night. RIP.

Hoping Rush will play “Uno Paloma Blanca” today in Slim’s memory.

And bump La Villa Strangiato from the playlist? Not a chance.

What a talented man! All I knew about Slim Whitman were the songs that played in his K-tel album commercials when I was a kid like “Una Paloma Blanca”.

I had heard this song growing up and thought it was pretty fantastic, but I did not know that it was Slim Whitman singing it.

RIP. I might have to check out some of his other music.

Yeah he was no small time guy Whitman, even the Beatles admired him, they did that song he sings.

It's just not the same without the sounds of gunshots and bombs going off.

What do you mean? So did I. Though I like George Ifield’s I Remember You better.
