Then he got up, with the help of his old duet partner Jeannie Seely and sang a classic Earnest Tubb song (of which he was a member of the Earnest’s Trubadors):

And he killed it.  It reminds me that when singing and performing is in your blood, it is impossible to forget or disgard.

Another country hero is lost, but his musical legacy will be remembered.  I made this tribute video, and thought I’d share it with you.

Delicious Elixir – Show 111 – Nora Jane Struthers & The Party Line – Live at The 5 Spot by Delicious Elixir on Mixcloud

Nora Jane Struthers & The Party Line perform LIVE at The 5 Spot in Nashville, TN. Before they take the stage, I spin a few rare Country Funk tunes to warm up the crowd. This is our first go-round doing this live in a venue so we are still working out the kinks. But once we get it worked out, it’s going to be FIRE!

Delicious Elixir – Show 98 – On The Road by Delicious Elixir on Mixcloud

Traveling songs to get you on your way. Inspired by books like Jack Kerouac’s ‘On The Road’ and songs like Bob Dylan’s ‘Let Me Die In My Footsteps’, we are taking a trip of a lifetime to see the West.

“…Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood
Let the smell of wildflowers flow free through my blood
Let me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves
Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground

Go out in your country where the land meets the sun
See the craters and the canyons where the waterfalls run
Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho
Let every state in this union seep down deep in your souls
And you’ll die in your footsteps
Before you go down under the ground”

- Bob Dylan
