WOW! Great footage. His voice was still pretty strong considering how old he must have been in 1993.

My God, I used to sit for hours and listen to Abner play at the Tanque Verde Swap Meet in Tucson back in the early 80's! I loved him!
He had records for sale. I said, "Abner, if you play How Great Thou Art, I'll buy all three of your records.
He said, "Well listen here" and played one of the nicest versions of the song I ever heard.
I still have those records and I still listen to them with a tear in my eye and fondly remember this wonderful man!
