| Johnny Dollar. I've heard a few of his songs on some reissue collections (Bear Family, "D singles"). I also understand that he committed suicide in 86. Anyone know him personally or play with him ? |

| I saw Johnny Dollar live in 1968 when he was on the Wheeling Jamboree. He put on a real nice performance. I wondered whatever happened to him. |

| One very important date omitted here. My daughter Casey was born 18 years ago on this date. I don't meant to brag but she will be graduating in May from high school number one in her class. Dad is proud. |
