Thanks, my parents and I were just remembering some of his music last week.
Back when I was in my teens, I had the privilege to meet Dottie West and "Whispering Bill". Both were genuinely nice people. That was in Dottie's "Country Sunshine" days.
Well, I guess somebody bombed something somewhere and everyone went to another thread to read about it.
*oh, well* I'll finish. My daddy's good friend was dating Dottie not long before she died. They all went to some football games together, but I never met her.
I did meet Lefty's son, David, and Dottie's daughter, Shelley, in Branson once - the year they had such a hit (in our parts) of "You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma." Also loved their "Texas State of Mind." Never ran into them again.
There, I think I'm done now. I've "sung" both of those on the forum before.
