Last night, I caught up with country music icon Don Williams at the beautiful Ohio Theater in Cleveland, Ohio. Williams' hit making days were primarily mid 70s through the late 80s. Though nursing a bit of a cold, the "gentle giant" gently rolled through 75 minutes worth of wonderfully nostalgic music! Since Don is not noted for talking, it allowed the music to take center stage all evening. Running through such classics as, "Tulsa Time", "Good Ole Boys Like Me" and "Some Broken Hearts Never Mend" the biggest applause came after "I Believe in You", "Lord, I Hope This Day is Good" and "You're My Best Friend", the latter in which he invited the audience to take the lead on the chorus. Backed by a very tight and talented 6 piece band, Williams' magic charmed the crowd and left me very, very pleased!
