I just got the e-notice from CNN and am in tears. He sang "Georgia on my mind" to me many moons ago at the Circle Star Theatre down in San Carlos. (I think y'all know that Georgia is my real name.) It was a very small venue in the round and I will NEVER forget that concert. I've also been to many of his other concerts, both large and small - once had center-front seats at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco. The last one was at the Concord Pavillion about 5 years ago and I knew it would be the last time I'd hear him live. He was obviously not his old self; age was catching up to him.
I'm SO happy I did get to hear him in his prime and follow his career. It is a sad day for me
