So sorry to hear of his passing...may he rest in peace. Every time I hear one of his songs, it brings a smile to my face.

Prayers to his widow and family.

That doesn't seem to bother people here. They'd rather be wrong but first to report. I think it's pretty shameful.

Current reports indicate he's hospitalized.

I'm changing the title and moving this to MUSIC.

The end of a legend. He was very kind to me back stage at the Opry. Something I will never forget. God bless him.

maybe facebook, twitter, etc. aren't the best place to get truth and facts. especially in this kind of a matter.

When I read stuff like that, I always Google it to verify it. If something like this happened, there would be something from a news source about. The Tennessean would have something up pretty quick.

Heres a link to Gene Watsons facebook page where he has been keeping us updated on Tater's condition. On his 12/29 post, he gives an address to send cards, etc.
