There aren't very many celebrities that I truly care about to the point at which I'm *saddened if they pass. This is actually one of them. Others on my list would probably include: Willie VY/Earl Campbell Emmett Smith Dollie Parton Disclaimer: I don't mean to sound callous. I'm saddened if anyone passes (except for Bin Laden). I'm speaking of a true gut punch.
I first heard of Charlie Daniels long ago while listening to this version of 24 Hours At A Time by The Marshall Tucker Band:
Damn, sorry to hear. Has a great ranch outside Mt Juliet where they raised some great rodeo horses. Think it was named Twin Pines, brand was TP. Friend of mine got a horse from him. Best trained horse I ever rode.
There is an unconfirmed rumor that the Devil was arranging travel now that he can finally return to Georgia...
Charlie Daniels was an awesome American, fiddle player, southern singer. I saw him in 1977 at the Austin Opry House....best concert I ever attended! I don’t think they make very many of them like CD anymore.
