    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? :ashamed001:

    It seems he just passed away, but I thought he had done that already.

    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.

    I just listened to "Coca-Cola Cowboy". I like that one too, but "Tucson" remains my fav.

    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."
