Ever wonder what happened to Randy Travis?

Nope!

At work Wilbur, can't see video. He was very talented but very human. Modern day Hank Williams.

What happened?

I fear a stroke more than any other health issue. It turns your life upside down, right now. If you survive you are changed forever.

Had a stroke 4 years ago that left him in critical condition and unable to walk or talk.  With a lot of rehab, he is able to do short walks and sing a little.  Still no talking.  Very sad and yes, he was human.

I use to sing 'digging up bones' every day walking into my physical archeology class in University.  I met the Prof at a historic homicide 15 years later when she was helping us Identify some skeletal remains, and she started laughing and she remembered me!

For several years in the 90s, I was on a regular double team west coast run. My co-driver and I were nearly the same age. About a year after that run ended, he had a stroke at age 48.

It was a fairly mild one, and he has pretty much recovered. Apart from speaking a bit slower than he used to, you'd never know.

 Still can't help but think what would have happened if he had been behind the wheel when the stroke hit, coming off a mountain pass with me sleeping in the back.

If you don't survive your life is changed for ever as well.

I knew the name, but not really anything about him.  Watched the video.  He looked completely vacant until he smiled...then looked normal.  Sad deal, for sure.
