Boxcar Willie at home in Texas

Boxcar Willie from 1979.
I drove to his house through tornados and thunderstorms with heavy rain in Texas. Near his home there was so deep water on the road so the engine stopped in my rented T-bird. Water was halfway up on the doors so I could´t go out. After a while I was able to start and continue. When I was filming, Boxcars dog bite me in my leg.
On my way back to Forth Worth I run over something that I didn´t see in the water on the road so one of my tires was cut in 2 pieces.

I'm trying to find if there's any footage of Boxcars session he did for Border TV in England back in 78/79 , our band "Threewheel" backed him on that tour, fantastic memories,,

@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.

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.

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

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