I imagine by this time Merle, Johnny and Waylon are already on a porch playing and singing with a ton of friends joining in.

You're first response really stopped me though, with that look on Willie's face and the text, was really vivid for lack of a better word.

I know he has to miss them. They were all outlaws together. True Ponchos and Leftys

Pancho needs your prayers its true
but save a few for Lefty too...

I've never lived in TX, but southern rock got me to transition, then Don Wms, Moe and Joe, Willie, Waylon, Merle et al hooked me. What I really miss is country music!

I was in Texas for almost 40 years, and you could find country music around the corner anywhere in the state. You still can, but you have to look a little harder.

Still, I think I will just YouTube "The Highwaymen" for now, then see where it takes me.

What they play on the radio today, doesn't have the heart anymore. It all sounds like corporate outlined and edited crap. There's still a few but so many "up-and-comers" all seem to come out of one mold. I about puked a couple years ago when I heard one rap and stopped listening to the country stations here in AZ that day.

They have a station in texas called rebel radio that is outstanding.

That's why texas is so special. Many of the young musicians are staying true to the country outlaw sound, or so my nephew tells me.

Ah, and here's the other country gal.

I'm heartbroken. Feels like a family member passed away, such a big part of my childhood.

I have always been a Hank Williams and charlie Daniels kind of guy

Love me that ol long haired country boy.... Hank Sr was never my brand, but Jr had a lot of great stuff.
