Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone.
Let’s pretend that we’re together, all alone.
I’ll tell the man to turn the juke box way down low,
And you can tell your friend there with you he’ll have to go.
Jeeze,
Getting to be 50 years in court. After the lawyers, is there anything left.
Interesting. I saw the late great Patsy Cline video Crazy and got curious about her fatal crash, which linked to the crash involving Jim Reeves. So many Opry losses in such a short time.
What really amazed me was the fandom JR had in Sri Lanka, of all places. That’s about the last place I would think having a C&W artist as a star.
There’s a guy who could sing. Checked out an Amy Winehouse vid on Youtube to see what the fuss was about. I could make out maybe 1/3 of the lyrics. And she was sober.
I read a very long story on this today in the Tennessean. What a strange, tangled mess this has been, and such an odd ending to someone whose music was so quiet and dignified. This had all kinds of intrigue - every possible estate wrangle you can think of, plus hundreds of dead cats in the freezer. Makes you shudder just to think of it.
"The late"??
How long is it before a dead person is no longer "the late"? It seems to me 47 years dead would disqualify somebody from being "the late". But then, what do I know?
OMG, this is another Jarndyce and Jarndyce.
Gregory went bankrupt in 2002, allegedly owing $6 million to Mrs. Reeves, who died in 1999. Her family contends she was not mentally competent when she agreed to the sale.
IANAL, but if Mr. Gregory never paid in full is the sale then incomplete, and essentially rendered void?
