I saw Charlie Daniels live four times. He always put on a great show. First time was in the late 70's in Hartford CT with my dad, the girl across the street and her dad when he toured off of Million Mile Reflections which produced his #1 hit The Devil Went Down to Georgia.

The world of music will surely be different without him as he was a session guy for Marshal Tucker and others, had his own band, and mentored younger artists. Charlie's music was a wide ranging meadow from Southern Rock to Country to Bluegrass to Gospel.

Rest well sir, you were the best damn fiddle player anyone ever saw.

A National treasure.

I was working at a pediatric care center in south Florida when I was 18 and got to meet CD and a bunch of guys from the MTB. They came in to say hi to all the kids and take some photos. They were promoting the “where we all belong” album(MTB)

Charlie Daniels and MTB were so nice to everyone. It’s something I’ll never forget.
I loved their music then and still do. :)

We met his secretary too. She was very nice and spoke highly of Charlie Daniels. It is a small world. Her son was the principal at the school where my niece went to school, at the time, outside of Nashville.

I met him after a concert in Johnson City, Tennessee, when I was a teenager. I wanted him to sign my cast and he said he'd sign my cast and "hug my neck." I'll never forget his kindness and his big stature.

They serve so that we can remain free.

CD came to my little town in MA every year

Mr Daniels came to the "Indian Ranch" in Webster, MA every summer to put on such a wonderful show.
He was scheduled to come back this September.
I was always amused watching the man that stood behind him to replace the many broken bows Mr Daniels would need for every song. He never missed a beat!
He surely will be missed.
He was an amazing artist.

Rest In Peace. I never was a fan of his music, but he was bigger than life with country people.
