It’s just sad I send out our love to the family and to all the other unnessary death we have let you all down I’m sorry bye from us all still here having to watch so many unnessary death to the devil desease. *NOTE* Just for the record, Dad had a massive stroke, and did not have COVID-19. I was concerned that was what was wrong with him when mom called me at 5:45 in the morning, but when mom talked to dad's cardiologist, he said it sounded like he was having a stroke. There was nothing COVID-19 related about his passing. - TeamCDB/BW (CD, Jr.)

A hole in my heart . . . . .

I first saw the CDB in the early 70's at Great Adventure in Jackson NJ. Saw them many times there. It was love at first listen for me. Charlie's music spoke to me, the same way The Allman Bros, Skynyrd and so many other Southern Rockers music did. Straight from the heart, honest, no frill music. Over the years, I believe I saw CDB more than any other band, even introducing my son to the music many years ago. I'll miss the music, but more so, the message of an undying Faith in the Lord and an undying Love of the USA. Sleep Well, Big Man, Thank You for decades of happy memories and your unwavering devotion to our Country. God Bless you and your family . . . . .
