AOO and Kodiak,

Thanks for the posts on the show. I had tickets and couldn't make it. Had to work from 6A to 8P, so the tickets (2) went unused.

Does his sis still play piano in the band? When I saw Willie last (in '86, I think) at the Kansas State Fair, she did. She played her piano so hard that the single rose (in a vase) that she placed on the instrument at the show's start kept moving on it's own and had to be re-placed at the center after every 2 or 3 songs. Willie's great, I'll bet he had a good mix of country and rock in the show.

Despite his historical significance (writer of many of Patsy Cline's songs), my bet is that Waylon will prevail in matters of real consequence, being part of Buddy Holly's band, etc). Waylon walked the country/rock line better than anyone before or since. But Willie has my respect for all he's done. Glad you boys enjoyed the show... wish I coulda been there.
