Thread Name: OBIT: Waylon Jennings, 16 Jun 37 - 13 Feb 02
Subject: RE: Waylon Jennings
aw geez.......Yeah, I liked Waylon a lot. And Leej has it right.........Bad news here tonight.........

When I lived in Nashville (Hendersonville), we lived about a dozen houses down the road........Never saw Cash on the road, but you'd see Waylon occasionally. We lived in a house that had a long drive the tour buses would turn in...."Nobody important lives here folks. we're just turning around."

I enjoyed his music and his style........especially his style. Not musical style, "human" style. What a bummer....This really sucks............Well, he often said he was living on borrowed time since February 3, 1959 when he was supposed to have been on the plane with Buddy Holly. 43 years and a few days........ I'm glad we got the benefit of that extra time.
