3. What tracks would you recommend (or album)?
“The Thrill Is Gone” now has even more impact than it did when it was on the charts decades ago. B.B. even gave a budding song writer [Gary Nicholson] from South Garland High School a shot at success when he chose his song [Waiting For The Light to Change] to do with Randy Travis. God given talent.
4. Have you seen them live yet (or have plans to soon)?
I did, 1966 in Cincinnati! I was also able to do a show with him, Sonny James, Waylon Jennings, Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton (who was only 18 at the time)!
