Its happened. Harold Reid has died. He was eighty and had kidney issues and that finally got him. Horribly sad. Who??!! Harold Reid- if you have heard the Statler Brothers country music band, you will know Mr. Reid. That deep bass; that in your face boom. So hilarious and so grand. My childhood. "Captain Kangaroo! Smoking cigarettes till dawn!" I am going to Youtube and spending some time there listening to yesteryear and mourning the loss of a good guy. Not a ritzy fluffy celebrity but just a good hearted guy with a big voice.

I'm afraid I've never heard of him but I'm sorry he has passed away.

@JudyEv The Statler Brothers are an American Country Icon. Plenty of them on youtube.

@JudyEv You must have heard of Johnny Cash? He helped get the Statler Brothers going.

Oh yes, I remember him. He had a voice you could not ignore. The Statler Brothers used to sing backup for Johnny Cash. A sad day!

@dgobucks226 The group seemed to be nice folks, not just stuck up glitter.
