Donovan's Reef (Florida Version)-- Part 2

Continuing with Interesting Folks.

WILLIE NELSON

Well, not the REAL Willie Nelson, but this guys knows how to walk like Willie, talk like Willie, look like Willie, and sing like Willie at karaoke. We were shocked to learn he was a retired bank president from Tallahassee. When I asked him how he got into Willie, he said that one time he was at a karaoke place and someone said he sounded so much like Willie, he might as well go with it. And, he has.

You'd swear he was Willie, right down to the hair and grizzled beard. He has fifth row tickets to see Willie when he comes to PC in March. He is what you would call a character.


THE REAL WILLIE and the WHEEL


Speaking of Willie, yesterday I bought the new Willie and the Wheel album at Best Buy. Not only do I like Willie Nelson, but he is singing Western Swing, and singing it with one of my favorite groups, Asleep at the Wheel. I like Western Swing as well. Like Ray Benson says, "Western Swing Ain't Dead, It's Asleep at the Wheel."

This is a mighty good group of songs. Give it a Listen. --RoadDog
