A sad week for Texas music

[Stubblebum]

Earlier this week, we learned of the passing of Jerry Jeff Walker.
Today, it is reported that Billy Joe Shaver has died at age 81 after suffering a stroke.

RIP, gentlemen.

That is an excellent song for Billy Joe’s death.

And I could easily become Billy Joe’s FAN.

This is all I really knew about Billy Joe Shaver ...

... but it's a great song. Sad to hear of his passing ... rest in peace!

RIP. Two important guys to country music.

Saw Jerry Jeff back in the 70s and he took my rock and roll self and turned me down a different path.
That and KFAT radio ... loved that outlaw stuff. He'll be missed.

Last month someone asked me how I was doing after the big August fire that destroyed so much of my property.

I said I was gettin' by.
