RIP...the great Augie Meyers, 85 years old.

Meyers on his meeting his baseball-loving pal Doug Sahm for the first time:

"For years, I used to work at my momma's grocery store. It's where I met Doug Sahm, he used to come in and buy baseball cards."

In 2013 I collected all versions of These Boots Are Made For Walking that I could find. It's supposed to be the most covered song ever. I posted 200+ here: these-boots-are-made... but there are more. I just added a couple that I missed and fixed a few links.
Like and subscribe (just joking) :)
