He was absolutely fantastic that night. Mom and I went to many of his concerts, and I just loved his booming voice. When I miss her, I play Waylon's music and sing and dance. Great interview!!!

    Like a great many other's, I love Cash, Jones, Willie, both Hank's & The Hag, but there was just something about Waylon that made him my absolute favorite artist ever! The image, the way he carried himself, the love story of he & Jessie, hell the bromance between he & Willie as well! 😂 and of course his great-great music is the foundation of it all.... "They got me for possession, of something that was gone, long gone" man, what a talented writer that guy was! I shed a tear the day Waylon passed, gone much to soon for sure, but long live the memory of "The King of The Outlaw's" Waylon Jennings ✝️

    Real country music is officially dead. Today's "country" music is pretentious and tries to convince you it's country by the singers introducing artificial twang or singing about trucks & tailgates, barbed wire, dirt roads, jean shorts, etc. Luckily my turntable doesn't know any better and I'm in control of what plays in my music room.
