George Hamilton IV first, among others. I met him

on 'stage' at a Bluefield WV tv station telethon. My band volunteered to play (for exposure) and he was the headliner talent that year (1973?). He was polite and much taller than we expected. The experience was thrilling but the exposure was net negative. ** Edited by PhotoHokieNC at 10/28/2025, 6:04:02 PM

That song was a favorite of my Dad's. I just played it in his honor. Miss

Did you spend last night in New Orleans?
EDGEMAN • 10/28/25 04:33 PM ET
Nope, Abilene Tejus! Charleston SC to Meridian MS. Then to Abilene.
DonHo-kieHi • 10/28/25 04:46 PM ET
Adjunct trivia...Who sang "Abilene"? (a bit of a Hoo-ish name)
