I'm sad to see him go. He had a great run.
This is his first hit, The Fat Man. It is a wonderful example of barrel house piano. It was put out as the "B" side. The "A" side never charted.
Unfortunately, this live performance has the sound way out of sync.

Country singer, who didn't let stuttering get in his way.

His obituary may be overshadowed in many media outlets because of the proximity in time of his death to the death of an infamous criminal. I will not honor the criminal by posting a link here.

This is likely to be of interest only to British boring old farts like myself, but what the hell. [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-33181740[/url]

You are correct! It is not so much lack of interest, but lack of awareness.

About 3 days ago. Just found out.

A very obscure Ballad of Christine Keeler, excerpts.[INDENT]When I was down and out, without a blooming shilling
I met old Steven Ward, he asked if I'd be willing
He said he liked my architecture, patted my foundation
I thanked him very prettily and joined his corporation

Well in merry merry England sex is all the trend
Who knows where the bloody thing will end?

...................................(a couple of verses)...

Now they're offering me a mint for the story of my career
And I must admit the thought of it does seem rather queer
But Mum says Lovey, you might wind up with an earl
For we all know that heaven will protect the working girl.
[Chorus]
