The Honky Tonk angels are welcoming him tonight. Love the clip.
I <3 you so :D Sad to hear of course, but I learn so much from your posts!
Oh, that's so sad. They had been married for quite some time. I hope Kitty will be ok.
I remember that post you did on their awesome house a while back, what a magical looking place it was!
