had a wonderful voice and was good hear ted man. My parents raised me up with his music, and passing his music to my children some day....R.I.P boxcar....blow that whistle loud.....
FEB 10 TH 2011 A Great Song by Box Car Willie. He was a Wonderful singer, He is missed real bad....Hope his Family is all doing good...I Like Box Car Willies Songs. They are Great...From Linda sammons In Oregon elvira_97470@yahoo.com
I can't believe it, I just bought Boxcar's Gibson J-45 that he used on stage and TV and also the Grand Ole Opry. I also got 2 of his hats complete with all the pins in them. Also his guitar case with all the railroad stickers, One of his railroad costumes that he used on TV and stage. I got it from his son Larry. I can't tell ya how thrilled I am.My 12 year old son is also thrilled, knowing that someday it will be his someday as well it should, he plays the guitar way better than me, lol!
Hi, Congratulations on all your new (and old) additions. Good on you !! Must be a great feeling to see and feel those treasures. I'm a Dutch Country (and Boxcar Fan). Met him in person in the early 80's in Utrecht (The Netherlands). Great and sympathetic guy. In those days I organized Country Shows. Wonderfull period.
Guild52: Agreed, the modern stuff is, with rare exception, ick. I grew up on the Grand Ol' Opry when my parents would watch it, as well as other country shows, listening to Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Boxcar Willie, and other greats of a bygone era. Now days it's all egotistical trash, not down to earth songs.
I got to meet this Great person- in Turlock Calif. in the 1990`s- for got which year-,and He`s exceptionally great-I couldnt do him justice if I talked all night- I love the Box very very much-hes a great american-country singer! he was took from us toooo soon.
Boxcar Willie made Branson Missouri a National/Global tourist destination. It was Boxcar that ushered the big names into Branson..Boxcars shows were nearly or sold out every show. It was'nt nothing to see 30 tour buses parked outside the Boxcar Willie Theater!!!!!
