That’s #2. Willie Nelson, wanna be the 3rd?
My heart is broken....Loved Don Williams.... :(
R.I.P
Today was a bad day in country music.
He had a voice as smooth as velvet and as rich as butter.
I’m not much of a country music fan, but I LOVED Don Williams.
Don had the smoothest baritone voice in country music. No one else like him. I had a chance to see him in Crockett, Texas about 8 years ago. None of the rock country crap we see today....just beautiful country music.
RIP to the Gentle Giant.
You placed gold on my finger
You brought love like I’ve never known
You gave life to our children
And to me a reason to go on
You’re my bread when I’m hungry
You’re my shelter from troubled winds
You’re my anchor in life’s ocean
But most of all you’re my best friend
When I need hope and inspiration
You’re always strong when I’m tired and weak
I could search this whole world over
You’d still be everything that I need
You’re my bread when I’m hungry
You’re my shelter from troubled winds
You’re my anchor in life’s ocean
But most of all you’re my best friend
You’re my bread when I’m hungry
You’re my shelter from troubled winds
You’re my anchor in life’s ocean
But most of all you’re my best friend

“Old Coyote Town,” best ever song about one’s old Dad.
I only saw him alive once. But in the 70’s when I was berthing with first class Petty Officers on the Coast Guard Cutter Resolute we about burned out his album. I’ll play it ‘til the day I die.
It doesn’t look like his talent never really faded as he aged. Here, in 2013, he sings about Burt Reynolds

We saw him in Las Vegas years ago at the Boulder Station Casino.
He was wonderful and he had a great backup Band.
It may have been his final Tour as I recall.
RIP Mr. Williams.
A favorite. I saw him in concert...
Don Williams was the real McCoy.
RIP.
Some Broken Hearts Never Mend
Coffee black, cigarettes,
start this day, like all the rest,
First thing every morning that I do,
Is start missing you
Some broken hearts never mend,
Some memories never end,
Some tears will never dry,
My love for you will never die
Rendezvous in the night,
A willing woman to hold me tight,
But in the middle of love’s embrace,
I see your face
Some broken hearts never mend,
Some memories never end,
Some tears will never dry,
My love for you will never die
He was my favorite country singer ever. I have all his albums.
Why was he in Alabama
He had a farm across the river at Bells Bend off that dead end part of Old Hickory boulevard by the old ferry that’s closed
It’s a rural part of Nashville that’s in close but inaccessible
Maybe his children’s?
