Charley Pride....RIP

In 1979 I was working in the computer service business in Dallas Tx.
One of our customers GM, Headquarters for the southwest , we were servicing their 'puter late one night, it was Rodeo week. After we were through we went up to the GM Executive club to have drink.
We were the only two in the club, to black men walked in, both in full cowboy dress, one of them, even after he took his hat off ,had to duck to get in the door!
My friend said WOW! That's Too Tall Jones and Charley Pride!
I knew they probably just wanted a quite drink, BUT My MOM loved Charley from his first recording, she had 45's, LP's, 8 Tracks and cassettes, everything he ever released.........
So, I walked over, apologized for disturbing them and told him about MOM!
He smiled, shook my hand, took a napkin, asked me what my mothers name was and signed it, "Bert, Thank you for being a big fan, Your friend Charley Pride..."
She already had a refrigerator magnet of him, that napkin stayed on the door for over 25 years......

 Such a shame... another Covid victim, and one who probably would be alive today if he hadn't attended the CMA show.

 He had such a wonderful, mellow voice. So easy to listen to. Charley Pride and Glen Campbell were two of the best of the old country artists.

Hmmmm....I know I left that wand around here somewhere!
