thank you so much for posting this! I miss Willie and his high lonesome sound, he was so underrated for his writing abilities. i miss the HELL out of his mandolin playing and fantastic harmonic work as well. i had met and spoke with him on many many occasions at Fred Eaglesmith shows from Ontario to Texas and lots of places in between, its hard to fathom he has been gone since 2008. i saw him do a solo show at Saenger Hall in Tx,,,was a thing to behold!

thanks again for posting!
