great stuff, Ron, a wonderful and well written tribute to your friend...and a wonderful blog, char...I read that the other night (I've been in a state of being able to browse but not post of late...for a minute I thought you had given me read only rights, lol)
Walk Hand In Hand is one that I always think Orbison would have done well, he could certainly give it that big finish, lol....my first days at Massey as a youngen were watching the TSO before Roy Thompson Hall came to be so I may have heard and seen Johnny firsthand...it's nice to hear they gave him a wonderful sendoff
hope he keeps up with the fine writing
