41chevy Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 1957 as a radio DJ and band leader in Cali. This was in with the crate full of photos I bought last year. Thought it was just plain cool. Also found one of Johnny Cash driving a tractor cutting his grass.

hurstscrambler Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I'd say that PIC of Waylon was taken during his drug days. I guess they hadnt taken there toll by then. Big fan of the booger sugar, and yes he had diabetes which led to the amputation of one of his legs. All great musicians regardless of their personal habits.

gearhead204 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 the question is would we have known Waylon the way that we do if Buddy Holly had not been killed in the plane crash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurstscrambler Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I Dont think Waylon would have been content in someone else band forever. He seemed to do his own thing. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Williams, Dave Dudly, Merle Haggert, Wilie, Waylon, Johnny Cash, Ernest Tubbs, hell even Commander Cody tops the new country.

hurstscrambler Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Your danm right CC and all those others are better than new "country singers" and bands. I'm 28 but managed to see Waylon a few times, and many others. My old man used to bring me to shows all the time. Good memories, and good times.
