"I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole. No-one could steer me right but Mama tried"

One of the Bakersfield troubadours and in my top 3 favortie country artists of all time. I wish I would have saw him and Willie at Whitewater a few weeks ago.

So many great songs. I don't know if I could choose which one was my favorite.

In relation to the entire Bakersfield group, I would sorta agree with you. I love Turnpike Troubadours. Cannot wait til their next album..

The greatest there has ever been or will be.

And try to kick the footlights out again

No Time to Cry

"I take a beer out of the frigerator,
Go sit out in the yard

With a cold one in my hand,
I'm gonna bite down and swallow hard

Cause I'm older now,
I ain't got no time to cry"

I was there, and it was awesome.

Willie still seems to have plenty of energy for an 81 year old. Merle was moving awfully slow, but still put on one hell of a show and played guitar for Willie's whole set.

Happy Birthday to the Hag!
