      I love George Strait, Keith would be living but if people would not call George, the King of Country Music. Keith was the best true country music artist since Merle Haggard and George Jones.

      I think you have your information wrong. Their struggles were with her last husband, Sammy Kershaw, not with their 2 Husband, Keith Whitley. Larry King talked with Lorrie in 2004. Read the minutes. Google it. She had only nice things to say about Keith, and Larry King in her book. BTW, have you read the book, or had someone read to you? The whole book is devoted to her love affair with Keith Whitley.

      Wow. . . RIP Keith. I was almost 7 when he died. He was awesome. . . still love his music. Had he had not died, Garth Brooks would not have existed. Well, maybe he would, but he would now become as popular as he is.
