This is the first time in recent memory that the passing of a musician has bummed me out. His music had that "something" to it that resonated with people across all backgrounds and walks of life.
Uneasy Rider
Still In Saigon
Long Haired Country Boy
In America
God Bless you, Charlie. I've got a feeling there's gonna be a lot of toe tappin' going on in Heaven.....

We, too, were bummed when we read about his passing. RIP Charlie Daniels.
ReplyDeleteWe still hear some of his tunes on Sirius Classic Country.
I've heard him on several channels on Sirius. He had a giant fan base that crossed all genres of music.

CDB, "Reflections"
And yeah, I held up red and blue lighters while the song played (I didn't have a white lighter ready-to-hand).
He was unique.
ReplyDeleteHis music had huge cross-over appeal, and his lyrics were always good.
