    What a loss!! It is truly a sad day for Country Music.Probably the finest voice in Country Music.When ever I have a chance, on hunting trips to The Hill Country of Texas, I will detour from the main roads and take a drive to Luchenbach, Texas.To sip a Lone Star at the Bar in Luchenbach, let me dream of being there, with Waylon & Willie and The Boys. Rest In Peace Waylon

    I was a highwayman ... along the coach roads I did ridewith sword and pistol by my sideMany a young maid lost her baubles to my trade. Many a soldier lost his lifeblood on my blade.The bastards hung me in the spring of '25But I am still alive.I was a sailor; I was born upon the tidewith the sea I did abideI sailed a schooner round the horn of MexicoI went aloft to 'furl the mainsail in a 'blowand when the yards broke off they said that I got killedBut I am living still.I was a dam builder across the river deep and widewhere steel and water did collideA place called Boulder on the wide ColoradoI slipped and fell into the wet concrete belowThey buried me in that great tomb that knows no soundBut I am still aroundI'll always be around .. and around ... and around ... I fly a starship across the universe divideand when I reach the other sideI'll find a place to rest my spirit if I canPerhaps I may become a highwayman againor I may simply be a single drop of rainBut I will remainand I'll be back again ... and again ... and again ...

    Real country music is leaving us year by year. Even a punk like me can appreciate music like that. God rest his soul.

    I thought Waylon was country music!Him and Willie were my first taste of country music.This new stuff can not be country.Any way it is a big loss to the country music world.

    I consider the "New" Country Music to be the old "Top 40" of the 70's. If ain't got that Twang it don't mean a Thang.

    I can remember when he had normal hair ( for the 60's). He wasn't one of my all time favorites but he had some nice hits.

    "Cowboys aint easy to love, and they're harder to hold. They'd rath'r give you a song, than diamonds or gold. Lone Star belt buckles, and old faded Levis, and each night begins a new day. If you don't understand him, he don't die young, he'll prob'ly just ride away" Rest In Peace, Wautash.
