    The unrivaled Statler Brothers. Always in unbelivable harmonies. Those were the times. RIP Harold Reid and Lew DeWitt. Thank you for the great music you left. / CD

    In watching some of these last performances, they knew Jimmy wasn’t going to stop performing, and they were really setting him up for future successes. Extremely classy.
