listening to Waylon is like tossing back neat whiskey burns just as bad too every golden drop every whining note holds words said in some warm bed promises made lies told tears shed in a dark bar feet walking away damn I gotta quit listening to Waylon |

Gosh! Your poem was so vividly realistic that I almost felt as tho' I was at the bar listening to 'Wailing' Jennings! Warm hug and a smile, Linda |

I have no idea who or what Waylon is (a singer perhaps?), but Kate, your poem makes me feel I GOTTA LISTEN TO WAYLON! - Owl |

Thank you Page. I am sure you're full of character. Owl, Waylon Jennings is a country western singer and he sings great "she went and left me and now my heart is broken" songs. If you get a chance give him a listen. |

He's pretty good at the tear jerkers! And you are good at catching the essence of his music and style in your poem. I can almost hear him! Klassy  |

I miss him, too. Him, and a few others who made country music what it was...and could continue to be. |

Nice write, Kate...I enjoyed him, too. I never was much into country music until I worked with a man in the 70s that introduced me to Waylon and all the best; he kept his radio tuned to a country channel or brought his 8-tracks to work. I found I'd been missin' something. |

Wow! I cant even begin to estimate all the times Ol' Waylon provided the soundtrack for my life. Whether through 8track, juke box, or smoke filled bars when I was playing cover tunes of his songs and trying to live them in between gigs. I can't remember the first time I heard Waylon...but as is the case with many things... "The Devil made me do it the first time. The second time I did it on my own." enjoyed this. thank you |
