"The stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip." I’ve seen Stagecoach. 😃 What about Foghat? You ever heard of them?

Loved his music, got to meet him once in the early ‘70’s at a rather small venue......he was also a pretty damn good stock car racer! Raced a bit in the NASCAR series! memtb
And cheated a bit!

I was in front of the stage when Foghat was playing in Seattle Aug 28, 1974, when a girl fell down the well in front of the stage and I found her unconcious. I knew where there were 3 doctors in residency smoking dope in the back of the room. I left the stage and got them. I was a fan of Foghat, and had been playing Savoy Brown licks on the guitar since I was a kid. I used my most gravely voice to sing Mr. Downchild.

Des Moines fairgrounds - his car crapped out in hot laps. He bought another racer's car, drove it for the night, gave his winnings AND the car back to the original owner.

And cheated a bit! memtb already said that it was the NASCAR series - your point is redundant.

Marty Robbins and Jim Croce are two of my favorite singers that died too young. Imagine the song library they'd have if they'd been around longer.

Yep, got a couple of friends in Nashville that said he was known far and wide as a huge talent and the biggest [bleep] in country music. In what way?

/Marty died from complications from heart surgery back when medical technology was not advanced as today.
Ditto on Croce , love his music. Bad, Bad LeRoy Brown !
