| Yup, I used to go hear him. He's great. He's so much like Waylon it's scary. |

Yeah, a great singer and a ringer for 'ol
Waylon. Our band used to open for David Allan Coe quite a bit and Wendell was his front man. One night we were in a noisy redneck bar (actually called "The Redneck
Saloon") and the restless crowd was chanting "David Allan Coe, David Allan Coe".
Wendell stepped up to the mike and in that big voice hit "This Time" and the whole
multitude gasped.(and shut up and listened). |
