Janis and I stopped by and visited with Dallas Wayne, and watched him work on Willies Roadhouse, Sirius/XM Radio. Today’s show was dedicated to George Jones, and Dallas spoke with Ray Price, Bill Mack, and songwriter/author Bobby Braddock, and shared fond memories about George, and played his music all day long.
Dallas kindly came out and posed for photos with us, too.
Tune in today to Sirus/XM Radio, on Outlaw Country (Channel 60) to hear a special broadcast of SXSW “Grifter’s Hymnal Hour” hosted by Ray Wylie Hubbard with his guests Billy Joe Shaver, Shooter Jennings, Lukas Nelson and Eric Burdon.
Looks like a line up, ’round up the usual suspects’.
Texas Hill Country master of “Grit ‘N Groove” Ray Wylie Hubbard is joined by the original “Honky Tonk Hero” Billy Joe Shaver, Shooter Jennings, Lukas Nelson and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Eric Burdon of the Animals for his third annual SXSW special for SiriusXM Outlaw Country, recorded in the shed behind the home of Texas Music Office ambassador Casey Monahan during the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, TX.
The exclusive one-hour backyard pickin’ party features plenty of casual conversation, Outlaw storytelling, acoustic performances of songs from Hubbard’s new album Grifter’s Hymnal and an impromptu musical collaboration between Nelson and Jennings, heirs to the legacy of their fathers Willie and Waylon.

This joke came from Johnny Bush, via Dallas Wayne:
One night a man went out dancing with his girlfriend. He wore his brand new patent leather boots, and while they were dancing, he looked down at his feet and and asked his girlfriend, ‘Darlin’, are you wearing underwear?” “No”, she replied, “I’m not”. “Thank God,” he said. ”I thought my new boots had a crack in them.”

Dallas Wayne interviews Willie Nelson at Farm Aid 2011, in Kansas City, KS.
They announced on Willie’s Road House on Sirius/XM Radio that Dallas Wayne would be back on the air on Monday. Dallas has taken some time off, after the devastating loss of his home in Bastrop, Texas in the recent Texas fires. I spoke with Dallas, and he wanted to thank everyone for their best wishes and concern for him. He said he and wife Jo, and dog, are doing okay, (“safe and well insured”), even though he lost musical instruments and many other irreplaceable belongings in the fire.
At Knuckleheads, Jo, Dallas, Jeremy Tepper, for Billy Joe Shaver show in August.
Can’t wait to have Dallas back on the radio!
