      He’s on the road a lot so it should be easy to see him. I’ve had the privilege of seeing him perform over two dozen times over the years.

    Where is Delbert nowadays, haven't heard of him being around West Tn. area in many years. I sure would love to see him again. He is one of my all time favorites.
