Day 42 #100DaysOfOldDays

We grew up listening to Charlie Pride records. I could sing The Crystal Chandeliers long before I knew what a chandelier was.

Charlie was my mam’s idol. She loved him. Not just his singing—everything about him. He was gorgeous!

So, as you can imagine, one of the most exciting and memorable times of her life is the day she shook hands with Charlie Pride!  

She was first in queue at the Oasis to hear him sing. She stood for hours. It was worth the wait because she got a front seat close to the stage. She knew the words of every song and sang along with Charlie the whole night!

Charlie Pride; born 18 March 1934; died 12 December 2020

No drawing from Lucy! She’s too busy with her best friend today. She’ll be back tomorrow!
