ktgrok Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I'm sad. Obviously, it is sad when anyone dies, but man, I liked his music. He was 61 yrs old. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Yeah I read that last night. So sad. I’m right outside of Nashville and this stings. he sang such true to life songs. His poor family. i fear many such deaths will occur in the next few weeks. Covid 19 in Nashville is really ramping up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edelweiss Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I have never heard of him before, but it is so sad. 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadley Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) It’s very strange and very sad to me. I am not one to follow celebrities. I don’t personally know them, and I am usually removed from that world. However, this man sang the soundtrack to my college years. I lived in Austin at the time, and his songs were very popular in the restaurants and bars in the area. For some reason, this felt close to home...can’t put my finger on why...perhaps because I live so far away from that place/life now...makes me homesick on top of everything else...

The neighbors remembered him in their own special way. https://www.wsmv.com/news/nolensville-holds-drive-by-parade-honoring-joe-diffie/article_bb50d858-72fa-11ea-a288-8b049b2f15ea.html 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Awww~ love the parade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbollin Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 love the parade! on Sunday when I heard the news, I couldn't decide if it was too early to sing his song Prop Me Up (as a honoring of the fun and joy his music brought). Other fans were ok with that. My dh thought I was a little insensitive. But now, after that parade, I'm back to listening to John Deere Green. prayers for the family and friends. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'd mind the Prop Me Up song at all 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
