I was talking about this earlier to somebody, but I almost remember being around him one time and he just knew so much about me.
And then he asked me something that I know he didn't find on the internet, you know, remembering about when I did a show and blah, blah, blah.
You know, he was just so nice and so welcoming and, and he and Charlie Meadows were, were a great team to have on the morning show, you know, on Coffee Country and Cody and, uh, uh, you know, hats off to Charlie for, for really taking the reins on that and doing all that he's done.
And, and I know he's lost a great friend and Bill, uh, in fact, I got to message him, uh, the day that I heard the news and, uh, It's crazy how quickly you can be fine until you're not.
Well, we were supposed to have Darren on last week, and then he got called earlier this week, and he got called to play the funeral there at the Grand Ole Opry.
So I'm sure it was a great homecoming for lots of people and a sad way to have to meet up.
