Especially so because Charlie kept himself "current" by working rock tours, Bonnaroo, etc. He stayed cool in his later years. You have to give him credit. At the same time, he was outspoken and that no doubt had a lot to do with his reduced appearances at the Opry.mll06041965https://www.blogger.com/profile/04468069496696407529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-78093354055495520342011-01-29T12:10:13.726-05:002011-01-29T12:10:13.726-05:00An article (albeit very short) and a second notice...An article (albeit very short) and a second notice about visitation and funeral arrangements was posted on the Opry website's news section on January 26th. <br /><br />Peter Cooper's article in The Tennessean was a good tribute with typically gracious remarks by Emmylou Harris,-- and there was also a good piece about him in the LA Times music blog, Pop and Hiss, with some moving comments by Lucinda Williams.Arlenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-8893812652259627802011-01-27T12:45:15.738-05:002011-01-27T12:45:15.738-05:00I read in the Tennessean article on Charlie that h...I read in the Tennessean article on Charlie that he collapsed during the taping, but did finish the show. <br /><br />And just a note regarding the Marty Stuart show. What a great job he does with presenting many of the legends in country music. Last year, he finished with Kitty Wells, and he also had on Merle Haggard and so many other Opry members.Byronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610237116677181633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-17240731764991738372011-01-27T11:23:52.542-05:002011-01-27T11:23:52.542-05:00His next to last appearance was to tape the Marty ...His next to last appearance was to tape the Marty Stuart show.
