I was lucky to see Charley Pride perform at the New York State Fair in the early 70's*.

It was one of the many free outdoor concerts they have each year...except when there's a pandemic.

Went quite often back in those days, hanging out with my cousins while they took care of their cows for the show.

Pride was a special guy. What a legend!

Everybody has to deal with tough times. A gold medal

doesn't make you immune to that. A skater is

used to falling down and getting up again.
