We lost a music legend back in may when Billy Walker's van flipped on I-65 in Alabama, in route to Nashville after a show. Billy and Joe used to play the same places in Florida. Joe actually spent some quality time with Billy backstage at the Grand Ole Opry the week before he past away. It was Billy's last performance on the famous radio show. Joe wrote a poem about that night called "Dressing Room 8" that has been posted on a few sites on the net. |
