Hit Songwriter Whitey Shafer Needs Us

Beloved Actor James Garner & Whitey Shafer

When someone in the Nashville community needs help, the help comes in droves.  Nashville's own hit songwriter Whitey Shafer has had a really tough year.  His COPD has gotten so severe that he has had to be hospitalized.  The Nashville community has started a funding page to help Whitey with expenses in the hopes to relieve some of the stress he is feeling.

This is an excerpt from an earlier article of mine regarding Whitey.

In the 1970's lefty got a publishing deal with Acuff-Rose Music. He had several Number 1's hits such as "The Baptism of Jesse Taylor" for Johnny Russell, "Tell Me Lying Eyes Are Wrong" for George Jones, and a series of hits for Moe Bandy.

Whitey was very good friends with Lefty Frizzell. When Left passed away Shafer wrote a song to honor Lefty called, "Lefty's Gone."  Whitey is a Hall of Famer who has penned such hits as "Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind" 

Let's help the, "All my Exes live in Texas," songwriter to getting feeler better and at the very least, alleviate some of the financial stress he is feeling right now.
