I'm sure you'll not misinterpret my clicking Like. :)

 

I'm also sure he was awesome.

 

He played guitar and sang in a classic country band well into his 80's. We are talking Hank Williams country. 

 

They'd play a gig in the middle of nowhere and the place would be packed with Grandpa's and Grandma's just dancing up a storm.

 

There simply wasn't another band playing that material anywhere. They were one of a kind because of it...  Talent level didn't matter at all... They just got up and did it and made a whole bunch folks happy. 

 

I'd just watch them and think to myself... That's my Uncle and I just loved it. 

 

He came out and watched my band once... He says to me... You guys are too loud. I think you're good though... but you guys are too loud.  

 

I got to sing Cotton Fields with them once... It was a highlight for me... I was thinking that my Mom would have loved to have seen her brother and son on stage together.

Hey All... 

 

Do me a favor and raise your glass (of whatever you are drinking... it's a cup of coffee for me). 

 

Raise your glass for my Uncle Harold. 

 

Lost him today. 

 

I am sorry to hear that my friend, and will drink in his honor when i eventually get home.
