Apropos of Nothing #59 – 15 June 1937
Just a simple salute today to one of country music's greats, Waylon Arnold Jennings, singer, songwriter, musician, outlaw.
He was born on 15 June, 1937 and died at 64 on 13 February, 2002.
Multi-award winner, frequent collaborator with Willie Nelson and band member along with Nelson, Johnny Cash and Kristofferson in The Highwaymen.
Personal favourite song: Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way?
"I've seen the world with a five-piece band,
looking at the backside of me........"
Waylon Jennings is buried in the City of Mesa Cemetery, Arizona.
