I saw Willie live and in color, Commerce, ETSU Gym, Circa 1976.
David Allen Coe opened the show… for three hours.
Willie was late.
Again.
Didn’t Matter: I would have waited all night.
He opened (as always) with “Whiskey River”
The crowd went nuts and I spilled my Wild Turkey 101…
*smile*
Saw Willie here in Tampa…great show! Glad you got to see him. 🙂
I remember that story. LOL
In one of his books Willie recounted a story of him smoking a joint with a Secret Service Agent on the roof of Jimmy Carter’s White House. I loved it. (Pretty sure Jimmy had already gone to bed)
I do make it a point to stay outta Oklahoma (some trouble there in my past), but, I’ll be damned if I wouldn’t risk incarceration just to see Willie… live… jes one more time.
(Thanks for reading)
Your comment made me smile.
He was in Durant, Oklahoma this weekend.
He never goes anywhere w/o it.
Dope
Wonder what he had in his pockets? LOL
