Legendary country rock musician Charlie Daniels has died of complications from a stroke at age 83.

I kinda stopped being a fan when he started becoming somewhat of a right-wing bible thumper.

I took my girlfriend to see him in concert in Ft. Pierce, Fla back around 1979.

I think that was right after The Devil Went Down To Georgia came out and the tour was in support of that album.

Ran into a bunch of guys I went to high school with and we partied with them.

Good concert.

Anyway, RIP Charlie D.

This was the first Charlie Daniels song I ever heard. I was in the 10th grade, my sister had just gotten a new car and she was driving us out to the beach.

On the way there, this song came on the radio....
