I just watched Kris Kristofferson and Russell Crowe doing a duet of it
And the Kris Kristofferson tribute by Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Ray Price ( who looked the image of Ron Barassi)
So many more, including Shipwrecked in the eighties, duet with Rita Coolidge.
Kris Kristofferson Day for me.

Quite the flurry of iconic names this week.

I share my last name with Pete so I was asked a lot as a kid if I was related. I don’t believe I was. I have extended family in Virginia who claimed we were, but they mysteriously stopped doing that later.

My older brother used to get called “Chuck” at school, derived from Charlie Hustle, and it was also the name of an original band he started.

Great, great player but something about him always kind of put me off even before the scandal. Sometimes you just get a vibe. But as a Cardinals fan growing up I’ve never liked Cincinnati either.

Kris filled the room and was a gentleman. He was losing his memory but never forgot the words to his songs. Brilliant!
