Not very familiar with him, but checking his songs written & covered by country giants, plus remembering that he was name-checked in a recent Dylan song, made me put his name in.
Not the best way to get to 100 posts in this thread, but..."I'd rather be an American than a Trump Supporter." - xongsmith, 5.7d |

on the 25th. Of Alzheimer's.
K.C. Jones obituary: Boston Celtics legend dies at 88 — Legacy.com Damn it. Favorite story he told, as he was celebrating Larry Bird day: a last second time out, down by 1, and KC gathered his team around his yellow pad.Larry interrupted and said, "just clear everyone out and give me the ball and i'll win the game", prompting KC too stop him with "i'm the coach", and he started to draw up a play and again Larry interrupted "clear everyone out and gimme the ball", getting another glare from KC, who resumed drawing up the play. Again Larry interrupted. So KC says "okay, here's what were gonna do - everybody clear out and give Larry the ball". So they did and Larry hit the winner with 0.00 on the clock.
