that's too bad. but the original band looked like old men way back then. i was a hugh fan but like ray left when there was 'too much comedy'. it just took me a couple decades longer. ;D

At my age it began long ago

Recently I put together a big compilation of 60s country for a friend, about 3/4 of the artists have now passed on.
