Thread Name: OBIT: Waylon Jennings, 16 Jun 37 - 13 Feb 02
Subject: RE: OBIT: Waylon Jennings
I am very sad Waylon is gone. There was a wonderful song he sang about a river----maybe the GREEN RIVER in Kentucky. When I spent summers in Evansville, Indiana we'd go out on the Ohio River, find the mouth of the Greeen, and fish all day about two miles in. Good times. But Waylon acted in the movie about the river I think. Ray Tate who was then the head of the Old Town School Of Folk Music in Chicago had some interest in that film. Well, it wasn't much of a movie. But that song was my favorite thing Waylon ever recorded. Must've been about 1958...
