    SANTA ROSA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — David Olney, a folk singer who
    wrote songs recorded by Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris, died
    following a heart attack while performing in Florida, his publicist
    said Sunday.

    Jill Kettles said Olney was on stage in Santa Rosa Beach on Saturday
    when he was stricken. He was 71.

    Olney, a native of Rhode Island, was part of the music scene in
    Nashville, Tennessee for decades and had recorded more than 20 albums, according to a release about his death posted to his website.

    He was performing Saturday at the 30A Songwriters Festival. A biography
    on the festival’s website said Olney incorporated a variety of styles
    in his music, including honky tonk and rock. His songs explored offbeat
    topics such as a Nashville train disaster and late New York Yankees
    shortstop Phil Rizzuto, the release said.

    When you are not busy attempting to troll me over Fido crap as part of your dual-personality fantasy, I actually have a vast appreciation for all types of music. He was a very good songwriter and contributed quite a fair bit.

    Hello Nick,

    David Olney, who wrote songs for music legends, dies

    When you are not busy attempting to troll me over Fido crap as part of
    your
    dual-personality fantasy, I actually have a vast appreciation for all
    types
    of music. He was a very good songwriter and contributed quite a fair bit.

    He never wrote or played Cajun French. I have.
    So, you keep fantasizing on music you will never
    be able to write, sing, or play ...

    Did you try some of that banana ketchup on your fries yet?
    Much better than the brown gravy stuff most Canucks use.

    Who cares.

    Cajuns, my cousin, and Linda Ronstadt.

    A classic retort, Lee. Well done. It made my day. :)
