Thread Name: who is (was?) Little Willie John?
Subject: who is (was?) LIttle Willie John?
According to the Tom Russell song "Blue Wing" he was in a cell in Walla Walla, Washington, and was cell mate to a fellow with a blue tatoo. The song says he "used to be a great blues singer" is this character fictional or based on an actual human?
