I am not sure if this should go here, but there isn't really an active "music" thread, so I will post here due to it's meaning. I don't know how familiar you are with Country Music, but several months back, Gary Allan's (her man, smoke rings in the dark) wife shot herself while he was on tour. I heard this song on the radio, and I am thinking he released it regarding her untimely demise: So you sailed away into a grey sky morning Now I'm here to stay, love can be so boring And nothing's quite the same now I just say your name now. But it's not so bad You're only the best I ever had You don't want me back You're just the best I ever had. So you stole my world, now I'm just a phony Remembering the girl leaves me down and loney Well send it in a letter Make yourself feel better. But it's not so bad You're only the best I ever had You dont want me back You're just the best I ever had. And it might take some time to patch me up inside but I cant take it so I, I run away and hide And I might find in time that you were always right You're always right. So you sailed away into a grey sky morning Now, I'm here to stay, love can be so boring Was it what you wanted? Could it be I'm haunted? But it's not so bad You're only the best I ever had You dont want me back You're just the best I ever had. You're just the best I ever had

i just read that also mamie, and howard morris (the voice of gopher) died last month, and with paul winchell and now john fiedler gone, i feel saddened very much. like some of the sweetness down inside is gone. what wonderful comforting voices they were. for an afternoon you could get lost in their adventures.

SHELBY FOOTE - 88 He is noted for writing the definitive Civil War history book, and was featured in Ken Burn's Civil War series. I though SF was the sexiest senior that I'd ever laid eyes on.

Just need to set the record straight here after you folks gave me quite a start. The Nestle's song wasn't done by Paul Winchel, it was done by another ventriloquist named Jimmy Nelson (and his dog Farfel). http://www.tvparty.com/lostny2nelson.html In the late 1960's Jimmy's son was in the Air Force and was stationed at the base near my home town. One of my best friend's from High School met him, they fell in love, and got married. When I came into this thread and saw that you were discussing the Nestle's song...my first thought was that my good friend had lost her father-in-law!

You are so right, Marys, now I remember. Who could ever forget Farfel?

I'm really sorry to hear about Mr. Foote's death. He had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Civil War--just amazing. I had the Civil War documentary on videotape for years and I remember watching it because of his ability to discuss both the intensely personal issues of the war and the broad national/political/philosophical issues with equal excellence and concision.

I met Jimmy Nelson a long time ago. He used to do a lot of charities in Ft.Myers.

Ladytex, I thought that's what I heard on the news. I was on the phone, so wasn't sure if I heard correctly.

I loved Luther ... I grew up with his music. He was such a wonderful, spiritual singer. This is such sad news. 54 is way too young to die! Rest in peace dear Luther!
