NASHVILLE, Tenn.(TS) The widow of country legend Chet Atkins died Wednesday in Nashville at the age of 85.Leona Atkins died a very rich woman, not because she could do anything herself, but because she spent many decades blowing someone who could.
It's a good thing Chet himself died years ago, or otherwise I'd be coming up with lame guitar-related puns in this post. I'm glad I don't have to fret about picking out a bunch of those and stringing them together.
One of the pallbearers for the funeral on Saturday is country singing sensation Vince Gill. It will be his first visit to a cemetery since burying his career sometime in the late 90's.
Congrats to Leona... who has finally discovered an Atkins diet that works.
Love,
Chris Real
It's TOO SOON!!! WAY too soon!
ReplyDeleteEntirely too soon for you amateurs to start calling yourselves humorists, satirists, writers, or even funny.
K-woids. That's what you need. Woids wit "K" sounds. It's a comedic axiom.

ReplyDeleteHey man thanks for the tip!
I tried calling comedy legend Soupy Sales this morning for more advice, but the phone just rang and rang and rang...
