My wife told me about this earlier, I could swear he was already dead, I even seem to remember Pam Tillis (daughter) being glad they had resolved their differences. They're gonna put me away soon aren't they?
shux...blank picture. What did you mean "already dead"...you thought he had died some time ago? I just saw the internet headline today.
My father was a big fan of M-M-M-M-M-Mel.... and played him regularly. As a result, I grew up listening to him and many other classic country artists. I didn't realize he was still with us. RIP.
He used to tell funny stories as well, although it took a while to get it out. One of my favorites was the time he was working one evening at his uncles gas station, when a Cadillac came flying off the highway at a high rate of speed. It screeched to a stop and a woman jumped out yelling, "Have you got a restroom?" He thought she said, "Have you got a whisk broom?" He told her, "No, but if you back up over here, I'll blow it out with the air hose."
