RIP

To be honest, I thought he passed away in the 90s.

 

Not to say that reading that he passed away due to COVID19 complications makes it any easier to read.

 

RIP to a pioneer in his genre.

He was also a pitcher for the Memphis Red Sox and the Boise Yankees and tried out for the New York Mets and California Angels.

I can't remember if it was me or my sister my mom was pregnant with, but they had tickets to see Charlie Pride in concert and gave them away to the neighbours because someone decided to come into the world that night.
