Was at Dayton’s Hara Arena the night the lights went out…to see the CDB….some kid tried to sneak in thru the roof vents and grabbed a hot wire… both hands burnt off and we were in the dark a good half hour before the band came back on stage..Charlie came up every year to see the kid and I think he helped the kid monetarily for many years…this was May of 1979 of 80….. Worked for Delta then and transferred to Orlando in ‘83….and one day in ‘85 I was walkin’ thru the concourse and I see Charlie and Tommy Crain standin’ in the middle a the hall(I was a redcoat) introduced myself asked where they were headed and Charlie says to Ft. Myers…Cattlemen’s Assoc..had hired the band for a private gig and him and Tommy was the straglers. We talked about Dayton and NYE of ‘76 when the Outlaws CDB and Marshall Tucker played Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati…and how awesome that NYE was…I put’m in First Class and told’m I was sorry I couldn’t do more(it was only a half hour flight)..Shook hands and Charlie asked “you got a card?”(business card) I said yep and gave him one…about two weeks later one of the secretaries said I had a box mailed to me in her office… I went up and got it and It had all the merch I think the band had out…With a note “Thanks Steve, it’s the little things! We appreciate ya…”signed Charlie Daniels! Charlie besides bein’ a great musician was an even better human!
