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, as well it should, he plays way better than me.

@briangg57 If you're serious, you should take some photos and make a website so we can see this stuff as part of a virtual online Boxcar Willie museum.

Thank you so very much for posting.

He used to hang out in downtown Red Oak, Texas before he got famous. My mom says he used to give her a hard time when she was a kid growing up in Red Oak. Sure wish I could have met him.

[whittvet]

I remember him having a house in Eustace. I wonder if this was done in Red Oak?

[sissy5831]

no he was us army

[ApKNJ]

No, he was Air Force.  From his website's bio:

Lecil joined the United States Air Force in may of 1949 and became a pilot, he trained on the B-36 bomber.

His place near Canton was just down the road from my wife's family house...it was kind of a kick to pass it when visiting. Wish I could have met him.

[whittvet]

Whatever happened to his place. It was in Eustace right? I moved away from there a couple of years ago

[captainbones42]

[analyzingfunny]

I think this is the rarest treat possible for ANY Boxcar Willie fan. Thanks for sharing. It is better the second time, now that I know what is is.

[bernising]

Box was living near Canton, Texas, at this time and appearing on a Dallas TV Show. He was younger then. It was in the 70's. Berni-sing.

[analyzingfunny]

Wow. Thanks. This is more than I could ever want. I was just looking for some Boxcar Willie, I didn't think I would hit the jackpot. I seen him in Branson when I was 12. He was very nice and signed for guests after the show. I got to play the telecaster. Thanks for the video that is rare.

[pilotesseJ]

so cool to have just been hanging out at his house listening to him play like that!
