hey everyone I just wanted to make a quick video to wish Charlie Daniels arrest in peace I just found out about 20 minutes ago that he died of a hemorrhagic stroke at 83 years old many of you don't know this but Charlie Daniels was one of the people that we were considering playing at the annual Iowa chase summit and we did talk to his people and last time we saw Charlie was at the Golden Nugget Vegas where he did one of his many shows that he did even at 83 years old and at that time I believe was 81 he's still doing hundreds of shows basically every year is unbelievable the amount of vigor that he he had and Charlie is one of those guys who lived in the intersection of music he played with Elvis Bob Dylan Jimi Hendrix he played with pretty much everybody at some point Johnny Cash and so forth and he was a great philanthropist and someone who deeply cared about charities he started a charity in 2014 that dealt with veterans reintegrating and the problems that they have and he really went out of his way to be just a good thoroughly good human being in addition to being a phenomenal musician so every now and then I do make videos when certain people die like John Conway for example and Charlie Daniels is definitely another one that I'm personally going to miss very deeply he just a fun guy to hang around fun guy to know and just some amazing music and an amazing human being with great great legacy he even starred in his own movie one time urban cowboy back in 1980 I think that was with Travolta so he had a hell of a career so Charlie Daniels rest in peace we're definitely going to miss you you all reminded us where the devil went down to and he gave us a lot of good times and I certainly enjoyed watching and listening his music life and over recordings and I know many of you did as well and I think this one's going to hit me as hard Willie Nelson when he goes so we wish you well charlie and we'll try to do something to commemorate you take care everybody and rest in peace
