RIP Ray Price, a country music legend

We still have Little Jimmy Dickens. I wouldn't put him on the same level as Price, but he's still a country music icon because of his longevity. He's like 92 and still performs

RIP

Yeah. I like ole' Ray.

Interesting interview about his beginning.

Gitarzan was the first album my brothers and I ever bought. We split it three ways, back in 1969. We drove our parents insane by playing it endlessly.

Gitarzan (forgot how horrible this was)

The above member should be ban for this.

I was lucky to see him about 5 years ago at the Willie Nelson July 4th picnic here in Houston....great voice still at that age, and put on a hell of a show

Saw Jerry Lee Lewis when I lived in Mississippi (2000), he played the Broiler fest in Forest, MS. Buddy and I drove over from Brandon. It was in a rodeo arena, the stage was setup at the end, the doors at the end opened and a long white limo came in rode around and stopped in front of the stage...out walked the killer to his piano and immediately started jamming. Played his set and walked off into the limo and drove off...it was awesome

Saw Merle few times and Willie several times, would love to see Chuck and Fats...but that just isn't going to happen.
