RIP Charlie Daniels

When I was in Jr. High and HIgh School, most of us on the football team fancied ourselves to be cowboys.  We wore boots and hats and had belts with our name on the back and big silver buckles and we dipped snuff.

We had a tradition of singing on the bus ride back to school if we won our football game that night.  Charlie Daniels "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" was a regular in our victory concerts.

Godspeed Mr. Daniels.

In heaven now :(

I'd never go away
We'd just spend everyday
Living out the dreams we've been saving

Anyone who'd see us
Sure would like to be us
Just for the memories we're making

But I guess that would be heaven
And I don't really care
Cause while we're dreamin, baby
You don't have to wonder, baby
Heaven can be anywhere
As long as you're there

The Devil went Down to Georgia is a classic, but I also recall it from Dominique Moceanu using it for her floor exercise at the Atlanta Olympics.  The crowd went nuts.

Charlie was married for over 55 years.  A remarkable accomplishment for anyone in the entertainment industry and who has gone through stages of extreme fame.

Well I never knew what he looked like because of that hat. :D  So how famous was he really?  :)
