Sorry bout that Eddie . . .

I'd learned of his death in '83 from a local TV station that did a short biography of his career, his connections to local celebrities along with the typical yada yada, concluding that his death resulted from complications from Lung Cancer.

I shoulda known better, but they were right about one thing -he did die . . .

As a side note Joe did a recording (I think it was on one of the albums that he and did Merle together) of The Ballad of Thunder Road and at the end did the Theme from Bonanza. I don't know if Merle was involved the song had fiddles, steel guitars, etc. I think one of the top recordings of that song. Steve
