Nobody can ever replace that voice, ever!

In person he was one character and the voice

never wavered and could have broke the

proverbial glass.

The best voice in the world, and the most under-appreciated. It breaks my heart when I think he died believing no one loved his music anymore. Sweet dreams Faron.

oldcrazydog1 We just left Nashville this morning after spending Christmas with kids.

We were shopping at Walmart in Mt. Juliet and saw Buck Trent out there. Looked like he was returning something so didn't interrupt. We are going back in 3 weeks and will go by and check Gabe's out. Maybe they need a piano player. We're gonna move up there if my wife can find a job close to Mt. Juliet. Have a good one.

@88TigerEye Actually Gabe's is definitely still a country music club with an awesome band. Doug Russell is a great drummer, his wife Cindy great female country singer and Matt Long is the lead singer/guitar player. He is an unreal guitar player, super smooth singer and a nice guy to boot! I don't know the bass players name but he sings really good too! No one sings old country like Matt. They are one of the best kept secrets in Nashville!

cw85739 I remember sitting one night when Wade was there. He used to work with Tammy Wynette. He now has his own show in Branson. He goes by Wade Benson Landry. We worked together in Mississippi several years ago. I understand Gabe's is no longer a country music club. One of my favorite memories is sitting in when Billy Dean came in and sat in with us. He did old standards that everyone would know. I thought, what a pro. Back to Faron, He helped many people over the years in Nashville.

@88TigerEye I remember Gabe's well. I sat in as well many times back when the place was half the size it is today; when the band was just to the left as you came in the door. The night that the Oak Ridge Boy's recorded "Gonna Take A Lot Of River" Cajun Accordion player Basil along with Wade Benson, both members of Jimmy C. Newman's band Cajun Country came by after the recording session. (Both were on the recording and in the video) Lynn Owsley of E.T.'s Texas Troubadours was also there.

Faron was alright!

One night at Gabe's Lounge in Nashville I was sittin' in with some of the pickers there and Faron's band was there and all left together to go on tour. About 20 minutes later they all filed back in, Faron on a binder, tour cancelled. We all had a huge belly laugh when we found out what happened. Faron was one of the best singers and showmen in history of country music. Man I miss him.
