    Second vidja we ever shot with Willi. But it was the first song we heard of his that blew us away. We had the honor of recording WC's opus "What the Rocks Don't Know" at Western AF HQ of Laramie, WY. This is when we knew, he was the master of his craft, maybe his genre.

    I sent this to my 71 year old father. His response was, "Amazing, this guy is a hoot." And that is about the best compliment anyone could ever get from that grumpy old Marine.

    "damn I found Jesus in a BBQ line" Is the funniest fucking thing I've heard all year. I'm sorry if that wasn't the intention of that lyric, but something about it is hilarious to me.

    Well after twenty-nine years, I can say
    I never thought it'd turn out this way
    I stumble and I stutter, stutter and I cry
    Ain't gonna figure out a reason why
    The song hurts my throat, the banjo cuts my side
    Hear the road cryin' out to the railroad ties
    Road cryin' out to the railroad ties
    That well love your light don't show
    Down by the truckstop highway glow
    Lord knows where I'll go
    When the road cries out what the rocks don't know
    Road cries out what the rocks don't know
    All my friends in Arkansas, all alone in Maine
    Six-to-one, half-dozen's the same
    Back-Bay sailin' or the Great Divide
    Mississippi deep, Rappahannok wide
    Angels wings on a Wal-Mart sign
    Angels wings on a Wal-Mart sign
    And well love your light don't show
    Down by the truckstop highway glow
    Lord knows where I'll go
    When the road cries out what the rocks don't know
    Road cries out what the rocks don't know
    Kansas City rib shack baby you're mine
    Gimmie the pig the cow and the swine
    My weight is my love, my shimmy, my shine
    Damn I found Jesus in a barbecue line
    Damn I found Jesus in a barbecue line
    And well love your light don't show
    Down by the truckstop highway glow
    Lord knows where I'll go
    When the road cries out what the rocks don't know
    Road cries out what the rocks don't know
    Well, I'd like to see the world in livin' color
    But one color's just the absence of the others
    To get the whole spectrum of horror and elation
    Call good time numbers at a Conoco Station
    Good time numbers at a Conoco Station
    And well love your light don't show
    Down by the truckstop highway glow
    Lord knows where I'll go
    When the road cries out what the rocks don't know
    Road cries out what the rocks don't know

      Yessir, we do. Luckily they exist, but the largest majority of them fellas don't want to be internet famous. Just go to any of the smaller local Fayetteville and surrounding area bars on like a Tuesday or Thursday night, and I promise you'll hear them fellas every week. It's what they live for. I'd suggest looking up Jesse Yingling of the band Left of Center for a good start of some good ol classic Ozark country rock.
