It was such a shock. He was one of the great people in the business and one of the greatest entertainers ever. He will live on in our hearts. Rest in peace, Charlie. - Dolly
Well, the devil went down to Georgia, but Charlie went straight to heaven. My heart, like many millions of others, is broken today to find out that we've lost our dear friend Charlie Daniels.
Bennie Adkins was the kind of guy that would provide a grin and front-page story on any day of the week you could sit with him. https://t.co/EPxkv2IJBY
Yesterday, my friend, Command Sergeant Major Bennie Adkins completed his last assignment on earth & moved on to eternal glory to be with our Lord & Savior! This great American won the Congressional Medal of Honor for his service to our country in Vietnam! He was a great American!

“Even though I’ve been doing this for a long time, it’s like I want to pinch myself still. It’s an awful neat deal to be able to live out your dream.” - Joe Diffie
Joe, thank you for all of the music and light you've given us. Thank you for letting us be part of your dream. ❤️
Growing up in the 90’s in Oklahoma, Country Music didn’t get much better than Joe Diffie. It was a treat to get to meet my fellow Okie & share these thoughts w/ him. It’s sad to hear about his passing. I’m thankful we have such great songs to remember him by.
