turn here
I confess. I have a condition. It has a name - or several. I am a tombstone tourist, a taphophile, a graveyard junkie. The term "tombstone tourist" originated with the title of Scott Stanton's book chronicling the final resting places of famous musicians. Scott passed away in 2013 and I wanted to read his obituary to see where he is buried; however, I didn't want to pay the "legacy" fee to read it!
The only famous musician gravesites I have visited are Buddy Holly in Lubbock and Hank Williams in Birmingham. This sign points to the graveyard in Goodnight, Texas where Charles Goodnight is buried. Not a famous musician but a cattle rancher, bison breeder and inspiration for "Lonesome Dove."
