RIP Ferlin Husky

I just found out today that Ferlin Husky passed away last month on March 17th.

I went to Branson Missouri with my wife's family for Thanksgiving 9 years ago and I found out he was doing a show at the Boxcar Willie Theater. Everyone laughed at me but oh well, for $15 and free breakfast before the show, how could I go wrong? :)

After the show he went out in the front foyer of the theater and was signing autographs. We talked for about 15 minutes or so and he asked where I was from and I told him I grew up in Northern New Jersey. He knew the town where I lived and said he'd been through there many times. He named a bunch of places he played in the tri-state area and asked if they were still there. One of the places I had played at and it was not a big place at all. I think things were a lot different back then.

He sold over 20 million albums and Elvis opened for him. Not many can say that.

    Ferlin sounds interesting--RIP.  I don't recall having heard of him before.  I'll take a closer look. 

    Should auld acquaintance be forgot--hey, who the hell are you guys?
