only got it later, perfect sentiment for a cheap bastard who pats himself on the back for doing good.

ETA: His last performance was on Dec. 20, 2014 at the age of 94. That's one hell of a long run.

Thanks for all the laughs, Jimmy!

He put on a good show. In the same show that night were Skeeter Davis,
Tom T Hall and a few others I can't think of right now. May he RIP.
