Wow. Thought the yodler pass into God’s arms years ago.
Rip.
Despite all the jokes, I liked his singing.
I particularly liked his rendition of “Beautiful Dreamer”.
Rush will have something to say about this on his show today.
Like others, I had thought Slim Whitman long gone into the Great Beyond. I was introduced to Slim’s music when I was a young officer that had an E7 working for me who was a fan of Whitman’s yodeling. The E7 felt my cultural boundaries needed to be expanded so he loaned me some of his collection of Slim Whitman. Whitman was certainly a unique talent and had a memorable style.
Saw him in person and enjoyed his singing. God rest his soul.
Poll.
It is often said the great die in threes.
Who will the other two be?
RIP. Still I loved the parody of him they did on SCTV as a supporting cast member of “Indira/Evita.”

Wylie's cover of Christmas For Cowboys is a Holiday staple at my place.
He used to have these late night adverts for his music, touting him as the No. 1 selling musician in Britain.
Which let my warped mind wander with Elizabeth, asking Phillip:
E:”Phillip? What’s that singer that is so popular here?. You know, that American...”
P: Oh, he’s Slim something. Slim...Oh bloody hell. What’s his name. Whit something. Yes, Slim WHITMAN! That’s it.”
E: Indeed.
Anyway, Happy trails to you Slim. You are now joining the recently deceased Stompin’ Tom Connors in the Cowboy singer chorus.
