He capped it with a nice late career: duets with Dwight Yoakam, continuing his singing after losing part of his tongue to esophageal cancer, and even performing at his own Crystal Palace the night before he died in his sleep. One of the great song titles ever: "I Wouldn't Live in New York City (If They Gave Me the Whole Dang Town)."   Robert Little Citizen Username: Boblittle Post Number: 343 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Monday, March 27, 2006 - 5:11 pm:
