Love this story. Thank you for sharing! It’s a shame his passing wasn’t widely publicized. I guess they didn’t want anyone to know for some reason. His executor accused me of notifying the Minneapolis paper (I didn’t, I think it was Michael Monroe). After Minnesota Public Radio called me wanting a quote, I later found out my sister, who had known him long before I had, had called them. There was nothing on the local TV news, on which he had appeared so many times live. If I had known better, I would have called everyone. Only the CMA awards that year showed his passing in their In Memorium section. He deserved better.
