Ray Price has passed.

Oh, man ... bummer. RIP, sir.

The crew is getting smaller and smaller...Willie and Merle, maybe a few others whom I can't think of right now.

Real...and I mean real, (yes, I understand the outlaw movement)country music and the true coumtry musicians are falling fast. I personally believe country music started to fade for me about 1992 or 1993, when a famous Okie made it big. I also believe he was the beginning of the death of country...flying around the stage...a "rock" or alter-ego album. I don't know, what did I expect, country music to stay the same ...nothing can.

What is country music today..I don't know. About 90% of the coumtry..or so called country musicians today..I don't even know who they are.

I am leaning toward Hank III, Robert Earl Keen, and others who aren't quite mainstream.

Saw him at Ziegfield's in Tulsa, I was but a teen.

RIP, Ray. Time to go listen to "City Lights" one more time.

Happy trails

Last time I saw him was at Muskogee about 7-8 years ago. It was a great performance. Another great one gone.

R.I.P. Ray is credited as the person who gave many iconic country performers their start in the music business. He could take a four-chord gut bucket country song, fill the stage with great musicians, and produce some sweet music.

Great pipes. A legend, any way you might measure it.

Man my father in law is going to be bummed, he is the biggest Ray price fan I have ever known.

Yeah, I grew up on Ray Price. He was my dad's favorite.

At least he got to see him in concert in Muskogee a few years ago.

Rest in peace.


I wonder who the third of the trifecta will be.

Peter O'toole died last night/this morning.

Yup. That's what I just said to my wife.

"Oh man- Ray Price died."

"Who is Ray Price."

"My dad's idol."
