The Devil was an Uneasy Rider

Never Look at The Empty Seats, A Memoir by Charlie Daniels, 2017; $24.99; 268 pages; W Publishing, Nashville, TN; 978-0-7180-7496-8; purchased lifeway books in Beaverton at their going out of business sale;10/14/19-10/19/19

Did you know that Charlie Daniels parents have a different last name?  When Charlie was born the birth certificate had the last name of Daniel on it and a nurse thought it was wrong and added an S to it.  Wonder how things would have gone with an overzealous nurse.
Charlie tells stories on himself and about those he has worked with, without mudslinging, and how various people have influenced him.  Did you know that Charlie is one of the musicians on some early Dylan records.  Charlie tackles some issues that have arisen during his career based on some of the songs he has written and recorded.  I found out all kinds of exciting things and one that I can put to use in public speaking, Don't Look at the Empty Seats.
