On Dan Seals Remembered: No less than 205 news outlets cover his passing

Dan Seals, as he was known formally and as he later re-established himself as a country artist in the 1980s, came from what, by anyone’s definition, could be considered a musical family. Born in McCamey, TX, in 1948, he was the son of E.W. “Waylon” Seals, a pipe fitter and repairman for Shell Oil who also played guitar and bass, and was an alumnus of bands led by Ernest Tubb and Bob Wills. Dan learned to play upright bass at age four and soon after, he was playing in the family band founded by his father. His older brother, Jim Seals, enjoyed a considerable career of his own as a member of the Champs from 1958 through the mid-’60s. His other brother is successful country musician Eddie Seals (of Eddie & Joe), while his cousins included composers Chuck Seals (author of “Crazy Arms”) and Troy Seals (who later married rock & roll singer Jo Ann Campbell), Brady Seals (of Little Texas), and country singer Johnny Duncan.

I heard about Dan’s passing from other Baha’is. I knew that he had been very, very ill lately and was in a great deal of pain. I’ll post my recollections of him a little later – I just can’t do it right now. Here’s some of my favorite music that he made.
