Flashback! B.W. Stevenson "Highway One" 1982

B.W. "Buckwheat" Stevenson kicks it up at the Capitol City Playhouse Street Dance, 1982 -- not the best audio, I'm afraid, but it was the best we could get that night long ago in the Dark Age of the 80s...

Loved BW and then all of sudden his son went to preschool with my daughter amd he lived in my neighborhood! Our little ones played together and I remember how nervous I was the first time I met him. I look back on it and laugh. When his wife had Katie, BW and I carpooled and I helped take care of his son. I still didn't have the nerve to tell him what a fan I was. Then he was gone. I look back with fond memories.

Still miss him!

Thanks for uploading this vid... A rare treat! I didn't think I would ever see him perform! He does have a couple of Austin City Limits out there somewhere. He played the first Season, episode 9. If anyone finds this episode of Austin City Limits please shoot me a link. It aired in 1976 and I missed it... ;~(

There a few CD's out there and this has prompted me to find a couple...

Is there a live performance of BW Stevenson singing "My Maria" on You Tube? The guy had presence - sad he died so young.

[flwenthusiast]

Wow! Great performance. Didn't have the privilege of hearing him, but he's incredible. Back up singers for BW = superfluous. Is there a studio recording of just him singing it?

[misspinkyrips]

That guy can sing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!! truly talented. It's so very sad that the musicians today don't have their own style. There are so many copy cats now a days. Brooks and Dunn are one of many who used original hits to become famous. They suck!

[Waimea4449]

Anyone remember seeing BW at Castle Creek (15th & Lavaca)? That first album of his is truly a classic!
