people had simply come to celebrate the 3rd
anniversary of the Wormy Dog Saloon.

And that’s the last I seen him. I went on up to

posed to let me in..folks like me. I come in. I
was kind of weather-worn, and beat-up, broke,
and I went ahead and stood there for a while
down at the end of the hall there because (there
were) these lines of women and everybody
- hangers-on and stuff like that. People knew

Waylon was gonna do something, but they just

didn’t know when or how, so I stood there for

end, and like I say, the hall was just lined with

people ‘cause Waylon was the biggest thing
goin’, I guess. Well, he hadn’t really done it yet,
Yeah
but he was gonna do something and everybody
knew it. He said, “What do you want, Hoss?”
And you went up to Nashville. Could you tell
I said, “Well, now, ya know, ya told me to come
me that story because I want to hear it from
up here, and you’d record my songs,” and I

says, “I don’t expect you to record ‘em, but I
do expect you to listen to ‘em, and if you don’t,
Well, it all started down there at that Dripping

I’m pretty good, and he kinda eased over there
and grabbed me by my shoulder - - right where
that funny bone is. People who know how to
do that can do it, and he walked me into this
other room, and he told me, “I’ll tell ya what
I’m gonna do. I’m gonna do something for
you. I’m gonna do that one song, Willy the
Wandering Gypsy and Me. I tell you what...
I’m gonna let you sing, sing another song for
me. I’m gonna make you a deal. I know you
got a bunch of songs there, but if you sing one
song for me that I don’t like...then, man, out that
door you go. I don’t ever see you again. I said,
“That’s fair enough.” So, I sang Ain’t No God
in Mexico, and then I sang him Old Five and
Dimers, I think and then Low Down Freedom,
and then I sang him Honky Town Heroes and

just slapped hisself on the leg and said, “Man I
know what I gotta do now, damn it.”
He went back in there and changed everything
around. Boy, they got mad at him. Chet Atkins,
the whole town was mad at him ‘cause these
songs I had were real raw and different. They

‘em which they wadn’t even saying back then.
Ya know... ain’t no God in Mexico, and all that
stuff, and they all just knew it was gonna bring
Nashville down, sure enough, it didn’t. It
brought it up, so it worked out good for me, and
that’s how it happened, and Waylon did stick
his neck out . He took his own band in there
and played ‘em and did the whole thing. Those
were the kind of songs that none of the players
there could have played. They were a little too
slick. His band wasn’t. They were like....Richie
Albright was from Oklahoma. . . always had
that heavy beat. I always want to accuse Waylon of inventing that disco beat. He came out
with that beat before disco came out. I believe
that’s where it came from. May he turn over in
his grave.
