Early morning, sitting in the backyard with a beer and listening to good old Willie.
Couldn't get any better ? =)

On another version (the highwaymen) Willie DOES pronounce Kankakee as KANKakee, like we do up here in Northern Illinois. Very funny. And I was born in Texas, so I could see how one might pronounce it the way it looks, without the Illinois dialect, which I hated when I moved here.
To sehusson ~ yes, he is a legend ..

I LOVE Willie and I LOVE Arlo !! But being from Crook County, I am partial to Steve. From what I googled (and I actually found an interview by Arlo - which is awesome), Arlo was playing late in Chicago and was on his way out of the club when this kid came up to him with a guitar.
Arlo said okay I will listen if you buy a beer .. and the rest is history~ I find it interesting the way Nelson pronounces Kankakee vs. the way Goodman pronounces it. We say KANKakee
and WN says CANkakee. Luv,me
