Rest in peace my friend.

I got to be on stage with Bill on the San Antonio River. He told a funny joke about the Texas Highway Patrol. I will pray for Bill and his family.

Bill was on the Brush Country Jamboree several times while I was there. (Live Oak County, Texas). A very nice man. Bill was responsable for Hank Jr's "There's a Tear in My Beer", being a wax record that Hank had made for Bill to cut, and Bill passed on to Hank Jr. many years later. So many are passing on, these days, it seems. Les

Les, I had the pleasure to sit with Bill at his home as he told me the story about A Tear in My beer. One of life best treasures. He was a jewel.

I had the good fortune to meet Big Bill in Llano, Texas backstage at the Llano Opry. He and I hit it off from our first words spoken. What a gentleman he was. I wish I could have spent more time with him.
