Country music star Charley Pride has died at age 86. Apparently it was from covid 19 complications.
Uh huh. 86 and covid.
Anyway, i had a chance to go see him sing in the late 1960's and i said screw that. Wish i had gone because in later years i thoroughly enjoyed his music.
The time i could have gone to see him, he was appearing at Lockney elementary school, i believe in the cafeteria but i am not certain of that. My mom and one of my sisters went and had a good time.
Country Music Legend Charley Pride Dies Of Complications From Covid-19

ReplyDeleteThey both were great.
DeleteLate 60's. In 69, I was a kid of 18 who managed to get (good false id as was usually the case) into a place called the Tropicopa across from old Tropical Park in Miami.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I was sitting at the bar with a couple of buddies and there was a guy sitting next to me. Quiet and very nice, we were talking about horses (I was at that time a groom across the street) when a member of the house band tapped him on the shoulder and asked if he'd like to join them for a song.
Damned if it wasn't Char;ie Pride and we didn't even realize it!
Did 3 sets with the band and was one of the nicest people I've ever met. May he R.I.P. We were blessed to have him for this time
Good story.
