Ok this is going to be an answer similar to what Okie would do if you asked her about Merle Haggard. We have occasions in life to encounter many types of people and some touch our lives more than others and for various reasons. I will tell all of you that the great Leonard Sipes (AKA)Tommy Collins touched my life in so many ways that I still feel to this day. He was one of the funniest people you could ever meet and could bring your spirits up from the deepest and darkest depths with just his mannerisms and his funny one liners. He was just a plain old corn fed country boy who used his God given talents as a songwriter and singer to express the things he saw and heard along with his own life experiences. He has seen hard times because he like myself was born into a family of little means but a whole heap of love. His mother Willie played the piano and Leonard always hung close to her and learned what she had time to teach him. His Dad who worked for the county was a great lover of the things we all love traditional country music. Leonard was a man who wasn't afraid to show love and at the same time he accepted love in return. He would do his best to help another singer to achieve their goals. He was also a very religious man even though as he would often say he had backslid several times in his life when the booze and pills had more control over his life than he did. Thankfully he was able to beat those demons years before he passed away. He suffered greatly the last couple of years that he lived due to emphysema which has also plagued many other greats such as Ernest Tubb and Porter Wagoner. I think of him daily and am so glad that you other nice folks here at Y/A recognize his greatness. Leonard never thought he was great but simply said I am doing what makes me happy and if others get happiness from what I do then my time has not been wasted. I hope that God has taken care of my loved one as he suffered a lot on this Earth as have many others. I am very proud that the blood in his veins is the same that is in mine. I had a chance to talk to Merle Haggard as well as Wanda Jackson about Leonard and both of them said that they genuinely loved the man. In my opinion he has been overlooked as has many others but as long as there are people such as the fine group here at Y/A his memory will never die.May God rest your soul my beloved Leonard.

Note: If I rambled too much I apologize.
