You won't get any barbs from me! Willie is a fine performer. I wouldn't classify him as a folk singer, but he's sure a good country singer/songwriter. Another good country vocalist who lived not too far from Willie when he was growing up in Abbott, Texas, was Tommy Duncan who was vocalist for the Bob Wills band and was raised in Whitney, Texas. I don't think Tommy Duncan has been given as much credit as is due him for the success of Bob Wills.
