Slim Whitman, surprisingly never mentioned on this thread before (in fairness, I thought he'd been dead for 20 years), is now tumbling with the tumbleweeds aged 90.

 

Slim to none.

 

He was declared dead by Wikipedia (wrongly) a couple of years ago.

Tompall Glaser. I thought I recognised the name - he co-wrote Streets of Baltimore, as covered by Gram Parsons on GP.

 

No, he never wore chunky knit cardigans or drove a red and white Gran Torino.
