Don "Cody" White Passing
I just learned of the passing of a good friend of ours from back in our touring days. Don "Cody" White passed away in Goodlettsville, Tn. last year and I'm sorry I just found out about it? Don was our lead singer in our touring band "Cody" from 1974-1976 and again for a while in 1983. A great entertainer and songwriter, Don's passing is sad news for all of us. "And for those whoever saw him, his star will always shine". From the song Dinosaur from the album 4:41 by Dick Bowli
