I’m so very sorry to hear this.
Charlie Daniels Band was so terrific. He and his band were one of the all-time classics, and was one of the few country bands I was more than glad to follow. I still love the song “Uneasy Rider,” (LA by Omaha,) and I remember that song every bit as much as “Give Me Three Steps,” more because of what it doesn’t do, it doesn’t get you into a fight, but a reason to get out of one.
If course, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” is an all-time classic.
Charlie was an amazing story teller, who once told a story about concert violinist Yitchak Perlman, where Charlie told him that he was an amazing player, and he admitted that he enjoyed the CDB music as well. Then Charlie told him that was “was just a fiddle player,” Mr. Perlman said, “we’re all just fiddle players.”
I’m going to miss Charlie’s byline and opinion postings.
RIP Charlie Daniels.
