Not sure what to say?

Lisa, although Mac’s passing was many years ago, I can imagine how much you and your kids miss him. His music is iconic and I am grateful that what he wrote is timeless. Peace be with you,

Mr. Mac Davis, I enjoyed seeing you on tv in the 70s as a kid and I love your music and still love hearing, "baby baby don´t get hooked on me," and that is a valuable old gem of a song that don´t lose its shine, luster, and value. That drum roll and your voice with the band will always get me and I want it too. My condolences to the Davis family for your loss. Joe DeHoyos Carlsbad, Texas

Thank you Sir, as a child I saw with my mom at the Ohio State Fair. Thank you for your kindness, your music, your voice was always a welcomed friend in my chaotic childhood and teen years. I hope you are well remembered and had a fantastic life.

Mac Davis was my favorite singer. I always dreamed of meeting him . I'm from Amarillo Texas, He was from Lubbock Texas. Awesome feeling to know we were literally neighbors. I got to see him in Concert at the Puyallup Fair , I bought a Ten gallon Foam Cowboy hat and wore it at the concert. He was an amazing singer. My favorite song was Midnight Crazy !! I will miss you.

Never got to hear you perform live but I appreciated your musical talent both through the songs you sang and those you wrote for other others. Requiescat in pace Mr. Mac Davis.
