This past Saturday you may have felt a sudden sadness of brushing past you - no matter where you were at

In the oasis of Maui, Hawaii a true legend took his last breath - a man who always had that relaxed confident look. Either on stage as a musical performer, or on the big screen as a movie star. His swagger and smile were legendary, and when you watched his movies you immediately liked him - he had that kind of charisma, genuine. Reports of those who had run across him out and about as "just a normal guy" all said the same thing, Kris Kristofferson -  he was about as reachable as a "Famous person" could be - and a band about 4 years ago in Fargo will agree with that 100%.

Imagine yourself hanging out at your local bar and "The Man" walks onto the stage

A Fargo-based band - 32 Below was performing country rock at a bar called Dempsey's Public House on an average night when an unnoticed visitor in the back came forth - as inforum.com reported "...after Kris already played a show at The Fargo Theatre, he took up an offer written on a note stuck to his bus and decided to step into Dempsey's Public House to listen to some hometown boys play music,” The band saw him in the audience and called him up on stage:

His classic  “Me and Bobby McGee.” was shared to lucky enough to see it live. Those who were there that night will have a wonderful memory they will never forget -

R.I.P Kris Kristofferson at 88 years old.
