How many of you remember John's "The Old Showman's Heaven?" He has just added another verse. God bless him.

I first met Johnny in Baraboo in 1967. He had a great gift for speaking - - articulate and instructive. I will miss him.

The Herriotts were on Gil Gray, playing the Katy Ballpark, at 3rd & Webster, in Waco, when I first met them in 1957. I still have the page he signed then. My condolences to his family, and share his passing with all who called him friend.
