Yeah, he's on the list.

[Richard Kimball]

Sheb's on the list. The last movie I saw him in was Hoosiers, one of my favorites. He also sang under the name Ben Colder. He used to do some great parodies of country songs. Here's part of one I remember.

Fifteen Beers Ago

Not so long ago I came into this bar.
It's the busiest spot in this here town by far.
You have to wait your turn for the little room in back, you know,
And I've been sitting here since fifteen beers ago.

Then a lovely girl said "would you dance with me?"
I said "yes I would", then she gave me a squeeeeeze
As we danced around the room, I said, "Oh Lord, don't let it show"
It takes a mighty patient man, to wait in line, and ring his hands,
When he hasn't been since fifteen beers ago.

If you remember the old song, Fifteen Years Ago, it's a terrific parody, helped by the fact that he really could sing. Here's to Sheb.
