Mel Tillis is gone

I saw on the early morning news that Mel died yesterday. 80 + yr old. He made a lot of us smile with his studdering stories but he sang as straight as anyone.

Rip Mel

On another note, Charles Manson croaked yesterday. It’s about time, good riddance

Re: Mel Tillis is gone

He was quite and entertainer. We saw him when he had his theater in Branson.

In 1996 a kid that worked for us bought one of his trucks. It was a K10 SWB. I was wondering today what happened to that truck.

RIP Mel

Re: Mel Tillis is gone

You could tell he was a kind hearted man. Made you smile just watching him. May he rest in peace

A little something I just heard about him. He bought a radio station and changed the call letters to KMML for mmmel.
