A songwriter without peer, who's message is as true today as it was when he wrote his first song... gone at 78. Rest in Peace. I still believe in music.

    I've been watching old Johnny Cash variety shows just to see stuff from my childhood. A very young Mac Davis was on it, pretty cool.
    I remember watching Mac's variety show as well. Great memories not really my cup of music but gosh dang those were good days, remember like it was last week.

    R.I.P. for a fine song writer and great memories

    The NYT obit I linked reminded me of some songs he wrote that I had forgotten or never even knew were his.

    True today!!!

    One of the comments under the video:

    "Tell Elvis we said hello. 💜"

    "I Believe In Music" is so simple but says so much!
