Saw Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson last week in Charleston South Carolina. Tyler is really country and Sturgill is more rock oriented

I listen to some southern rock like Hogjaw and Texas Hippie Coalition

I drove 5 hours last week to see that one. Each way

An hour or two is pretty standard to go watch a show

That HAD to be bad. And to happen so close to what should be a happy occasion. If I didn't say so before, you and your whole family have my condolences.

Sturgill I have heard of
A friend of mine lives in SC and we talk music a fair bit

Try the Steel Woods. Like a modern Skynyrd

Howdy Randy!

Boy Y'all lost me. Heck Patty and I haven't even turned on our TV for about 2 weeks. And I've never been to a concert.

Hey Todd. How are you and Ole GB?

Thanks
My youngest brother found him in bed, called me in.
I stayed with him while Dan went to tell my parents.
He couldn't stay there alone with him so I did.
We wouldn't let my parents come over and we stayed with him for 5 or 6 hours

Patty and I were with her Dad when he passed. It was hard, but he went easy. My Dad, Patty and I had just stepped out to stretch our legs (we had been in his hospital room for 2 days) and were just on our way back up to his room when they called. He was sleeping and never woke up.

The day before he passed he had Patty and I to get on each side of his bed and hold his hands. He raised our all our hands in the air and Blessed Patty and I. I cried. He said it was customary for a father to bless his oldest son (I am an only child) and he said he wanted to do it for us and him as well. I think he felt blessed that he could do this for us.
