How many times did I listen to "The Devil Goes Down to Georgia"?  It's hard to say; but a lot!  Coincidentally, I just watched part of a concert with him last week on AXS tv.

When I read the news earlier today I listened to "Long Haired Country Boy" and "The South's Gonna Do It Again" on Youtube. Those were my favorite CDB songs in the seventies while I was in high school. I had the Saddle Tramp and Nightrider albums on cassette. Over the years, the songs "Franklin Limestone" and "Saddle Tramp" seem to come back to me most often along with the other two songs. Thank you and rest in peace, Long Haired Country Boy.

@matonanjin  @pkotof  He will be missed. Great tunes for so many decades, and I can’t even guess how many times I listened to Devil Goes Down to Georgia. Sometimes over and over till my mom turned him off.

Guys, thanks for adding to the thread.   I should have mentioned in my op, and you guys probably know, Charlie is famous for playing his fiddle.  But he definitely knows his way around the fretboard on his Les Paul!

Yeah, Charlie was a fiddlin' fool. I just listened to a long, live version of Orange Blossom Special on Youtube. The band is having fun! The only casualty was a shredded fiddle bow!

RIP Charlie Daniels! :(  

I was lucky enough to see him in concert a few times and it was amazing each and every time! What a fabulous performer and wonderful person! 

He will be missed, but his music will live on! ❤️
