Thanks so much. I didn't hear this news until on the way to my morning workout. After we got back just now, I came right away to FR looking for the breaking thread and the FIRST thing I see is your post and the breaking news link. Cool !! Rest in peace, legendary ...

Great job, Reagan79...is it penned to a particular tune?!
The First time I saw you, you were in black at the Memphis fair
For all those people you touched,
there was excitement and anticipation in the air
You sang your new songs like "Meet me in heaven"
and how could I forget "I've been everywhere"
You're Johnny Cash, you even spent time in the Starkville City jail
Sometimes my brother and I would sit around and pick Folsom Prison Blues
And when I lost that pretty girl
You helped me put on my dancing shoes
But most of all your gospel songs comforted my soul
A constant reminder He washed all my sins away
Especially when you sang "The old account was settled long ago"
Your conversion story always reminded me of being on my knees
and I thank you on those days I felt alone,
I could always listen to "I walk the Line" and "One Piece at a Time"
Remember the times you brought the gospel alive singing,
"He turned the water into wine"
So for the songs you penned and sang
All the great ones about rebellion, forgiveness, heartbreak, and shame
I tip my hat to the man in black,
A man who didn't forget about the downtrodden and locked away
Whether you were in prison or Unchained.
