One of those figures who I had looked up to and inspired me since I was very young too...
Ride the great prairie in the sky, cowboy. Say howdy to John Wayne as well...

Another great loss to America.
See you after a bit Charlie.
See you after a bit Charlie.
One of the last recorded, and maybe my favorite:
" I ain't nuthin' but a simple man,
Call me a redneck, I reckon that I am."
Peace brother.
Call me a redneck, I reckon that I am."
Peace brother.
I read that too. It will be “complications associated with an undiagnosed case of covid-19” by the end of the week. And, hemmoragic stroke will become yet one more in a long list of symptoms...
83, you had good ride cowboy. The tent that housed your soul in this life is tattered and worn. May the lord feel it fit, to give one that does not wear out.
Well shit, I thought that was just another word for the COVID19.

RIP to Charlie Daniels, this was an opinion article he wrote shortly a week and a half ago.
I regularly read his blog posts.
Damn... RIP Charlie. That men bled red, white and blue. Getting dusty in here
I'm betting he died of a broken heart watching this bullshit happen...
A few of his songs have been BLASTING from my office lately, windows open for the whole neighborhood to hear. Fuck 'em, I'll get them through subliminal messaging if I have to. Talking doesn't do any good.
What this world needs is a few more rednecks, Amen!
In America...

Sad day, I was fortunate enough to see him live last summer. Voice still sounded as good as ever and holy shit could he play that fiddle! Been a fan for a long time, he made real country music, not that pop-esk man bun country Florida Georgie Line etc make now. RIP, you've earned it!
Definitely not my type of music, but the man fished and hunted until the day he died and was a good patriot and showed it very well after the 9/11 attacks.
RIP
RIP
So my "Charlie Daniels" story is not much to tell. Never met him. Never went to one of his concerts. Never knew a darn thing about him personally.
But in 1980... for those who don't remember back that far... America Sucked. We had gas lines. Jimmy Carter was an incompetent imbecile in the White House. We had Hostages in Iran. Disco was on the radio all the %$#@ing time. And Disco Sucked. You couldn't buy an American car that went 5,000 miles without having to take the cylinder head off. The Commie USSR was in Afghanistan and on the March. Oh and that STUPID Rubix cube was invented and pissed off half of the planet. And Rhodesia got fu%$#d.
I was fifteen with a new (farm) drivers license and my first 'real' job at a horse riding stable. And in all this suckage two things entered my conscience. First, was a song by Charlie Daniels called "America" that was playing absolutely everywhere, including on the Rock and Roll station I listened to. It came out in May, just as school was getting ready to let out.
The second thing was I started to hear about a guy named Ronald Reagan. And it was like a lightbulb. I heard Reagan give some speeches (as the Evening News was trashing him) and I was hooked. I knew the minute I heard him that he was going to win and America's best days were ahead. That we were going to be, again, the shining city on the hill.
Ronald Reagan and this song... Were my revelation... my moment when I knew that America was the greatest place in history. Yeah, I had civics... we said the Pledge of Allegiance every morning through elementary and middle school. I was a scout and saluted the flag and drove a Jeep. But until this song and Ronnie... none of it was more than having to learn it to pass a test or because it was happening. These two things turned on patriotism and a love for America like a switch!
'Merika. Never look back.
Cheers,
Sirhr

I saw Larry the Cable Guy’s tweet:
“Have fun fiddlin for Jesus, ‘cause you just woke up in glory! Hallelujah!”
there was a tad more, but that part hit solid.
and FYI, it is spelled hemorrhagic.
Our VeerG would want me to let you know...

Got to see him in concert a couple years ago. Glad I got to before he passed. Sad day in the country music world for sure.
One of my all time favorite musician's.

I’ve see CDB in a 10,000 seat amphitheater, and I saw them at a bar in NorVA in a crowd of about 50 standing 10’ from Charlie. That was a magic night that I will never forget. RIP Charlie, there will never be another like you.

Charlie Daniels
The time is swiftly coming in America when everybody who cares about having a future is going to have to pick a side.
When you get past the very thin patina of “peaceful” protest and look beyond the fallacy that violence and destruction brings about racial equality, you have to come to the conclusion that there is a radical fringe of people who would literally burn this country down, given the opportunity.
You’ll never hear it in the media, but if you’re willing to scratch the surface and dig a little bit, it will dawn on you that this is not a simple protest against the unjust killing of a black man, but a revolutionary street battle against America and everything we stand for that is funded and led by socialist factions, and it’s not just in the U.S., but in many democratic nations around the world.
In other words, it's an all-out socialist attack on our Republic.
I don’t remember a time in my 83 years when the cowardice, incompetence, indifference, and downright impotence of governors, mayors, and others responsible for the protection of citizens and their property have been more evident, disappointing, and disgusting.
What’s going on in our nation is not a “Block Party” or a “Summer Of Love” and any politician naive enough to describe it as such is not only unworthy of their office, but a clear and present danger to the well-being of every human being in their constituency, and thereby America at large.
This is anarchy, plain and simple and the laxity of the curriculum we have allowed to be taught in our schools and the doctrine that socialist university faculties have drummed into the heads of our young people is coming home to roost, as deceived twenty-somethings cause havoc for a cause they have no way of understanding, under the impression they are in a struggle for justice, when all along they are joining the battle to dismantle their whole way of life.
One of the first tenets of communism is destroying and discrediting history. And the destruction of historical statues is just that.
Communism cannot exist where there is a strong belief in God. But now there is a move afoot to remove any statues of Jesus Christ.
A statue of Stevie Ray Vaughan, a musician who had nothing to do with politics or activism, was vandalized in Austin, Tex. recently.
Communism cannot exist in a well-informed society, and to their everlasting shame and tacit treason, the media hides the truth and takes sides with the people who, if they ever came to power, would demolish the media.
Already the signs of pushback, the serious kind, are showing up.
Patriotic bikers have called for a rally in Seattle on the fourth of July to reclaim the CHAZ/CHOP area – or whatever they’re calling it today - return the police precinct to the police from whom it was taken, and in their words, “clean up the mess these communist kids made.” But the mayor finally seems to have come to her senses, so it may not come to that.
Gun sales are through the roof and America is locked and loaded to protect their families and their neighborhoods.
If things are allowed to fester and spread, in my opinion, and at least amongst the people I am familiar with and the area I live in, they will not allow their cities to be occupied, their businesses destroyed, nor their lives interrupted without a fight and almost everybody I know has guns and knows how to use them.
I hope and pray that cooler heads will prevail and bloodshed can be avoided, but, as things stand, that’s exactly where this thing is headed.
So, America, in the next few months you’re going to have to make a choice, about how far you’ll be pushed, the priorities of your vote, the kind of world you want your children to grow up in, and which side of this debacle you stand on.
Stand tall or crawl. Those are the choices.
What do you think?
Pray for our troops, our police, and the peace of Jerusalem.
God Bless America

Hope you went out like a light brother. You deserved it. RIP.
Back in my hard core country days, HE was the man. "Devil went down to Georgia", was a favorite. Stereo Wars in the barracks, Sansui, and Cerwin Vegas, and we were winners!

You know, I have no idea. It was on the East Side, Downtown, downtown by the City Hall and pretty close to the water. I was not the ring leader, but just a crew member. It was a really shitty hole-in-the-wall. If I remember correctly it had a plywood bar. I can’t remember if we had actual tickets or there was just a cover...
I will reach out and see if anyone who was there remembers what it was called.

This morning I found this concert ticket at the back of my dresser drawer while rummaging about for something or other. That Crash Test Dummies show back in 1996 was the last time I ever set foot in my favorite concert venue, The Boathouse in Norfolk. It was also my second date with she who...
Very sad...great performer and an outstanding musician. Not to mention a GREAT American
Don't like wishing my life away, but it'll be good when 2020 is in the rear view. Just don't think our problems will end with a change of the calendar though.
