RIP Joe Diffie

One of my favorite country artists just died on Sunday, March 29.  Joe Diffie was 61 years old and died from complications of the COVID-19 infection.

I knew all of Joe Diffie's songs by heart in the 90s.  I had all (or at least most) of his albums.  And listened to them frequently.  In fact, I have always enjoyed listening to music as a favorite pastime.  I never cared much for movies or television.  But I loved turning on my 100 CD jukebox and singing along to all my favorite songs.

I often used the repeat button on my favorite songs.  And could listen to the same song over and over all day.  I did that in my car a lot also.  :-)

My favorite Joe Diffie song that got a lot of repeat play was, "So Help Me Girl".

In searching for a recent live version to post here on my blog in honor of Joe Diffie, I was sad to see how rough he looked and sounded.

Here is a live version of, "So Help Me Girl" by Joe Diffie from September 2018.

Here is the album version:

Some of my other favorites of Joe Diffie include: A Night to Remember, Is It Cold in Here, Prop Me Up Beside the Jukebox, If You Want Me To... to name a few.

Look them up and listen to some of them.  You won't be disappointed.

Thank you for the music, Joe Diffie.  RIP my friend!

That's my two cents.
