I just found out that Vern Gosdin died 04/28/2009. He is a singer/songwriter of superior talent in both categories. Truly, he was a cut above most of country music on the radio. He had a number of hits in the 70s and 80s. Even if you hate country music, give one of these songs a listen, just to hear what his peers called, "The Voice."
