Don Williams was my dad's favourite country artist. Butterfingers is his favourite song.

Wait what? Three in one day?

Holy crap. R.I.P. everyone.

I wasn't familiar with the first two, but Troy Gentry passed away today? I started to like country music as a whole because of their song, "She Couldn't Change Me".

RIP to all three.

Don Williams deserves his own thread. A true gentleman. His songs are humble, beautiful and honest. Will be remembered fondly.

Don Williams is the one that hurts the most. My parents listened to the oldies country music station in the mornings as everyone got ready and Williams was a very familiar sound.

Montgomery Gentry were supposed to have performed at a concert at the airport at which they crashed.

RIP to all. When I was in my country music phase for 10 seconds, Montgomery Gentry was 1 of the few that I listened to.

Due to the general age of people here and how the deaths all happened or were announced one after another made one thread not clutter the board.
