The Pavarotti of the Plains

TFG has a nice video clip of Big Don Walser in concert, at his yodeling best. Reminds me when he sang at a friend’s wedding and later when Mrs. Charm and I saw him at little club in South Austin. Then he was so obese that he waddled getting onto the small stage. His almost-equally obese wife sat nearby. TFG says we make too much of DW’s overweight, but he might be with us yet if he’d taken it more seriously himself.

    There’s fat and there’s obese, the first is normal, the second isn’t.
