we've taken away Brady you know Texas ready getting great you know 89.3 a billion dollars I know there's a lot supporters of our radio station here in that and guys like Billy Joe shaver and duckie rate far they've been gracious enough to benefits to help us raise money because we're community where a listener-supported radio who are always broken but we we got a 28th anniversary coming up next month and we've been playing Billy Joe shaver for 28 years the same for Brad for 28 years at the same time but we had and so you want to listen to Billy Joe tune in Monday through Friday 46 thank you folks anyway Billy Joe so you grew up in the nineteen fifties and you had an English teacher named Mrs leg and then course counts whether it was outside the ports of kill a living horse can tell us 12 to wipe over the bill me de la Vega she was a high school teacher and they made a lady and she she had she come down today great I didn't get the pass a right but she come down both grand and it's different from the other teachers she would always like if Benson had a whole hour Chuck instead of things but she wouldn't let us do that she it was some kind of water baby and she she gave me this said to write a poem you know on some ropes home I didn't think much about it because I've been writing since uh you know talk and she coming back she said where'd you get to it and I was one of got well I'll tell you what I'll give you one right and she she gave me a sign she said write something about space so I would just wrote one I went bears BAM I mean I wanted to curl with her toenails you know they see she came back and they told me of course that I was great how are you in a way that maybe I thought I said I'm going into maybe because I'm in so much trouble around here and she said I really make no lady my stepfather they get along and she said okay that's your right side and that's what helped me encourage me to be more song rather than anything a lot of us guess it was born to do it and she if she says up to me the more like who is above a saber but why were you using the name Bubba because my sister's he's trying to say brothers make you another question before you became a professional songwriter what kind of job or something start with the Navy than after the Navy was the night got cowboy around a lot I married a girl that they had a big long we know I guess he called Rancho but with breaking break horses with violent sales returning and I still want to always have to do the work there's a peach orchard go ahead and Sam's that date I'm taking my turn that's where I'm out and getting my other habits that's all okay but let's move on then since we're put about 20 minutes into ten since we're at the end of the show we probably should have done this a little bit earlier but that leads me to something that I just forgot to ask you you're a legend song legendary songwriter a legendary performer and some of your lifestyle is legendary but someone anybody what has happened some of the stories are cult status now and southern we debated whether they're true that so I like it as it set the record straight on two or three the stories okay the first one I'd like to know about is way and James did a entire record 1973 comput LP Rosa divine tells ya okay never record almost didn't get recorded so if you could take us back to Willie's reunion in 1972 I think we met wailing and then get started before well I know but I mean I'm talking about the record oh how to get have a record get mail well when tells it is the first fourth of July famous call of the drippers Frank's Whelan heard me playing Willie the one our gypsy to me in this little trailer and he come busting out of the background he says he is that your son said yeah sure it isn't one cowboys officer you know I was cowboy yeah got a whole set he said we'll come up the National I built a little well and I kind of always did Poli got that at work you only gave his workshop handling all that stuff what a burn I'm brewing Amarnath room for about six months and got sick of it and he was in a recorders field Hollywoodland hangers-on and motorcycle guys and stuff like and he was a fair to control room and kept him in fact his disc jockey he let me in now once both bienick of whether giving specific orders not to let me cuz I doubt any man you know and puffs will get it done anyway he sent captain midnite back with a hundred dollar bill he's all rolled up into the vision of his square so he said what does it take you long yes I've told him where to stick it you know telling whether he comes out like a little old man there they got all these bikers started and sure enough he said well he did the tactical team I guess those guys are fixing to come and give him and they ate he stopped the money he took me in this room he said I'm gonna tell you what man you don't do things like that you get killed and so he stood just played in one side and if I don't like it you hit the door and I'll never see you again at the end of it so I did I played it though I think was a black rose first time and he said okay and he said let me hear nothing and I kept going every time he he said let me hear nothing and by the time I got to honky-tonk a little old five dollar stuff like that he returned to hold her laying around well this bandana and recorded my soul and I actually had to go out there and sing and he had to come in over government because his phrasing was a little bit different but he got into it a while maybe that's where we both broke up you know and some look bigger than I was I think I couldn't possibly say well that was a hit that was the start of this outlaw movement and that was the first time anywhere the same the second story I had I heard it said has to do with your first record deal and it has to do with somebody that was holding a president of a record company by their ankles on the third-floor balcony upside down and stuff you gotta do to get ready yeah that's what it was working you know everything work I dunno graphs about it it just happened you know there's no plan I have never had a plan my whole up moving back to waggle up here so we'll say to you of course from the third story I'd like to know is who is the other songwriter the erodes your motorcycle up up their steps and into their front door and declared that you were the greatest songwriter in the world yeah harder motor silent what my mom on the phone his porch they had thousands of it on this making window totally covered and it was a big hulking music and I had no idea what the big are Levin calling Howard he'd written busted and all that kind of stuff on it buckle once things and all that crazy tired by the tail and all that and I assume that he was embarrassed in that town till I got to know her here's bill burr he come out ready as a big old lady said what you doing boy I said I just wanna tell ya I'm gonna wait it's alright but let's get a little bit weary shaky and her and he said well I thought no a little bit nothing not like others feather maybe he said come on handed in PS of whiskey and family got drunk and we kind of he's only been at guitar and I wrote this whole well Psalms this little bitty one of little markings and I mean when I got done took the albumen and he was a displacer Oh Brown's daddy they sold chili and stuff like it and he's sitting there now combining hand him yeah and he gets to be home and two days later he said I want more gets all that aunty how always believe it you could shake songs have a guitar I have two more questions in will get back to the music excuse me girls are properly thought you were in his movie the Apostle and you guys have a long spinning yeah friendship his wife his girlfriend did a documentary on yeah tell us about how your friendship with him developed and what do you think of his version of live forever in crazy heart it was done during grilled honest and all that it was a tag home he'd made him go back and I called him up told him that pushed me out some reason or another these people got where they wouldn't let me you know nothing right now they've led me on what's another something having to do this out but I would say more than likely I'll be this of that because they pushed me into it they did thank you and so I'm gonna do something and I'm we're doing something bad I don't go into South Mountain and just show another County to get this and here also many he was doing the part of the Monson that over time and I didn't coming it was a guy there the Blues Bar wait a minute oh yeah it booked me into the Blues Laura but Clifford was raised in Hilda called they call Elise enjoy myself you know slippers I am damn cowboy here yes but but then Robert Duvall calls him over and says won't that boy talking about though you know whatever always gives it away that's about under what he may have some connections of some sort but anyhow and level top we come here and eighty was a fair play and you know he played a big old woman the people boogie out with me blasted everybody and I was saying and the Robert came up and Clifford Antone when I first heard first song also he got a and he and Eddie got together to imagine another great long lost my guitar player in a way Robert sent to the building you the best funny and he's not only you're the best I said okay and he says he says I said well Waylon is the best because let's play see you play probably the best concert halls around the world and probably some pretty kobolds halls yeah oh no
