Bigger than Slim Whitman?

Funny. For years after he died his wife was turning out "new" Jim Reeves records by the score.

NTTAWWT of course.

We had some land near Carthage, Texas, when I was growing up, and every once in a while we had to run into town and get some supplies or whatever (we lived in Shreveport, which was much father away). So we'd pass by a nice roadside memorial to Reeves - a statue, a garden, the whole nine yards.

Definitely one of the greats, and he deserves a statue.
