I agree it's a tragically sad week.
Eddy was my favorite after Jim. Marty Robbins and Connie Smith are the other two "most favorite" of mine.
I got to meet Eddy and get his autograph at a theatre in Hershey PA (where the chocolate bars are made) sometime in the 90s. I'll never forget that opportunity or memory, and am indebted to a friend of mine who "made me" go back and ask to meet him. He was very polite and gracious.
Remember, music world, those of us who love the "good old" Country Music are still out here.
