I never had the chance to see Bob perform, but over the years I have met many players and Western Swing Fans that have met or seen Bob perform,"( are getting slim.)" Over the Labor Day weekend I visited Junior "Houndog" Keith and heard some of his, Bob Wills' memories. He spoke highly of Bob and that ,He was the best person he had ever met! Just good hearted! Junior "Houndog" Keith played lead guitar with Bob in the 50's. Also with Billy Foust. I also visited Leory Boyer,(Borger,Tx). He is 91 years old and a great swing guitar player also. His favorite memory of Bob was in 1948, when he played a four hour dance with Bob,(Denver) as a fill in lead guitar player. Bob Wills' music, will live on for generations, It will be a memory "ONLY IF WE LET IT" Thanks, to all on this web site!
