    Billy recently rehearsed at a place I work at in Austin & I must say he was was one of the most humble musicians I’ve ever worked with. He came and approached me and just started shooting the shit even though he had no reason to. We talked about all sorts of things from how Austin has changed so much to morphine to families 😂
    He gave me all his records without me even asking and was just so nice.
    Modern musicians and people in general could learn a lot from this man.

    I was just thinking about BillyJoe twice today Once this morning watching a Willie Nelson video And then about 10 minutes ago I flipped this phone on and CZcams suggested I should watch a Waylon video of him solo singing Waymore's Blues with Miss Jessi sitting next to him on that show he had way back in the day!! Well BillyJoe crossed my mind again cause then I just had this Video cone on and there is the man himself!! Well Mr Billy Joe Shaver I hope you do live for ever ,,I can never just walk away from a song on the radio or on the CZcams! Him and Willie played in Lawrenceburg Indiana probably 10 years ago And wasn't walking away from him performing that night . or Willie. I got to the front row and never left until them Texans hit the Stagecoaches and just disappeared into the night. I seen them both before at Willie's Place the truck stop south of Dallas cause I would stop there twice a week on my weekly Indiana to Laredo turnaround After that Petro Truck Stop bought that place and tore the place up I never stopped there again, I'm gonna live forever
