Lefty Frizzell died today – 33 years ago

Singer (of Blue Yodel #6), songwriter, and guitarist William Orville “Lefty” Frizzell was born on March 31, 1928 in Corsicana, Texas. He said, “When I sing, to me every word has a feeling about it. I had to linger, had to hold it, I didn't want to let go of it. I want to hold one word through a whole line of melody." [I think that I’d at least except the “a”’s and the “an”’s and the “the”’s.]... Mr. Frizzell died on July 19, 1975 in Nashville, Tennessee.
