Saturday, January 10th, 2015
Yay, first guitar pick of 2015 has been released!
“The first of many Willie Guitar Picks to start off the New Year. The top pick is a genuine sketch drawn by Willie, and the 2nd pick below is for his shows tonight and tomorrow night at the House of Blues here in Las Vegas. I hand delivered them today to Dr. Budrock, Willie’s Lighting Director and good friend, at the Mandalay Bay Resort where the House of Blues is located…Now, where is my Red Headed Stranger CD for the drive down there.
Have a good one everyone.”

And Bobby Lemons on the sound board!
Happy Anniversary, Budrock Prewitt! (started working for Willie Nelson & Family Nov. 18, 1977)

Congratulations, Budrock “Buddy” Prewitt, beginning a new year (his 38th), with Willie Nelson & Family. This concert with WN&F and Linda Ronstadt was his first show first show, at the SuperDome in New Orleans. This is the poster from that show.
Congratulations, Buddy, here’s to many more years to come.
“That was awhile back and I’m still here. Lucky, I guess. Greatful, for sure.” — Buddy
Think about it, Buddy has seen more Willie Nelson & Family shows than anyone ever anywhere! His job doesn’t just involve getting in early and getting the lights set up, he works throughout the show and can’t slip away for a nap or snack. That’s a lot of Willie Nelson & Family music!
[ed note: I wanted to write that Buddy can’t ‘slip away to get stoned or get laid’, but it didn’t seem appropriate to write here, so I went with the nap and the snack thing. — Linda]
“On the road again”. Buddy “Budrock” Prewitt (SHOWCO lighting designer/director) catches a smoke during David Bowie’s 1976 Isolar “Station to Station” tour. Buddy resigned from SHOWCO in 1980 to work exclusively for Willie Nelson as his lighting director. Please like our FB page SHOWCO the Book. Thank you!”

Buddy with Cherie and Sue Anne, at Willie Nelson’s Cut N Put Perdenales Golf Course
Everyone was happy to see pictures of our favorite lighting engineer, Budrock “The Illuminator” Prewitt, at the Poodie Locke celebration event on Saturday. The golf tournament, the first annual (1st Sat in Oct.), brought together family and friends of Poodie Locke, tour manager for Willie Nelson and Family.
Up to his merry prankster ways, Buddy scared many people at the event (mostly cute women, I think), with his snake. And I am not speaking metaphorically, he had a snake in a cooler. He rode around in his golf cart and kindly offered a cold drink to the unsuspecting, and then when the lid opened, a snake popped up!
Hope to see him at a Willie Nelson and Family Show, soon! Without his snake.
Thanks to Janis from Texas for her photo!
Buddy plays Forty-One Miles of Golf in One Day

“On July 7, 1988, I was 38….. seems like yesterday.
We teed off at 12:01 AM and played non stop until 10 PM (22 hours).
We played with glow balls till the sun came up.”
— Buddy

The lost interviews: Budrock Prewitt’s interview with Willie Nelson about Poodie Locke (circa 1980)
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2014
“This was done in my living room in Dallas in 1980. It was me and a few Willie Vinyl Albums and a cassette machine. Crude but funny.”

Lighting Director aka “The Illuminator”Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out the car window.
I feel bad that Budrock “The Illuminator” is still off the road, home in Texas, healing from an injury last June. It’s gotta be killing him. But, he continues to heal, slowly, and I know he appreciates all the good wishes folks send him.
Thanks to Buddy for sharing this ‘interview’ he had about Poodie Locke, with someone who knew him well, Willie Nelson.

“Lighting Director for 38 years now for Willie Nelson, Dr. Buddy “Budrock” Prewitt, L.D., and, a close friend, teacher, and mentor of mine, as well as many more, broke his foot rather badly and he had to go off tour for Willie to care for this serious injury. Why don’t you all send him a, “Get back on your Feet Soon Budrock” note as a favor to me. This will, of course, irritate him and piss him off a great deal but, it will keep his mind off his foot for a while and I’ll take the heat, and believe, he can dish it out. His email is: budrocket@aol.com
Thanks. It is Good Medicine…”
