What a talent he was!

Was privileged to see him in concert with Dolly Parton some thirty years ago.

Terrific!

God rest his soul.

Every gambler knows
That the secret to survivin’
Is knowin’ what to throw away
And knowin’ what to keep
‘Cause every hand’s a winner
And every hand’s a loser
And the best that you can hope for is to die
in your sleep
