Any fans of Don Williams?
I've always liked his songs. And I just found out he was part of the Pozo-Seco Singers, who I loved way back in the day.

Any other fans out there?

Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful Lord, I know I should
But Lord I hope this day is good

Lord have you forgotten me
I've been prayin' to you faithfully
I'm not sayin' I'm a righteous man
But Lord I hope you understand

I don't need fortune and I don't need fame
Send down the thunder Lord, send down the rain
But when you're plannin' just how it should be
Plan a good day for me

You've been the king since the dawn of time
All that I'm asking is a little less cryin'
It might be hard for the devil to do
But it would be easy for you

Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful Lord, I know I should
But Lord I hope this day is good

Don Williams has a fantastic, timeless voice. Personal favorite - "Good Old Boys Like Me."

4. He's got one of the best voices in country music
It's amazing to me that he's not a bigger star. I think he's not flashy enough for Nashville.

5. I'm a BIG Don Williams fan...
I've been listening to his music for almost 30 years. My wife and I saw him in concert a couple years ago, and he puts on a great show. He comes out; sits on his stool; and gets down to business. He doesn't need fireworks and dancers all around him. His talent is all he needs. In fact, he was here this past weekend; and his concert was sold out.
