Bob Wills with Ken Hightower Live Interview.

[@bigr65802]

I worked at the South Hills Moose Lodge in Fort Worth in 68 & 69. We put on a benefit for Bob. He was in the nursing home home and couldn't pay his bills... It was the finest thing i have ever done in my life. A great gentleman.....

[@CherokeeTwilight]

Robert Kessinger very kind thing you did , God Bless

[@ronniebishop2496]

Robert Kessinger I heard that he could not pay his bills and I found that was so sad and I wondered why? Because he had to have royaltys.

[@ronniebishop2496]

I saw Bob in 1972 and he was with Tagg Lambert in Duncan Oklahoma.

[@edwardklintworth2004]

That is awesome! Thank you.

[@cbxxb4841]

That’s a great thing you all did. Thank you from all Bob’s fans.

[@danielhorstman7097]

I have been through Kosse Texas on several occasions and it's sad....but there is no mention of it being the birthplace of Bob Wills. Just unbelievable!

[@davidsmith-hb1jx]

Notice Bob gives a lot of credit to other people in the interview? A sign of a humble and confident man. Texas, California, and Oklahoma wouldn't be the same without Bob Wills. Thank you Mr Wills.

I own Ham's Barber Shop in Turkey, Texas. Bob Wills was a barber there in 1927 and 1928.

Much oblige. My daddy John Lamm was a fiddle player from the Texas panhandle town of Borger. I grew up with Bob's tunes. My dad was a super close friends with Sheb Wooley and they played lots of dances around the panhandle. Faded Love was always my favorite. My dad was born 1907--2004

[@wendellpeters5083]

Bob Wills, thank you.

[@gregriddle3042]

Grew up listening to Bob as a boy, my grandpa was an Ozark Fiddle player. I started on mandolin as well. I’m 52 and had no idea how much of an influence Bob was to my GrandPa until I really listened to his fiddle playing. I’m a musician today, play all kinds, but it all goes back to Bob Wills!

[@ronniebishop2496]

The fans keep you up and going.

[@CherokeeTwilight]

Loved this interview, my Grandma saw him play in Bakersfield about 1950. Lots of people dancing and fantastic music from Bob and The Playboys. She said it was hard to describe or explain how great it was. You just had to be there. Thanks to her I learned about them, now my kids listen a little here and there.

[@ronniebishop2496]

I remember the first time I heard this kind of music I was about 7, and I grabbed my mother and cried. It did something to me spiritually.

[@jordyking597]

I have been searching for this for days now, I have wanted to listen to him not only just talk but tell his life story. I love this

[@KB-ke3fi]

Doyle Brink and his Texas Swingsters, out of Waco Texas...Sioux City Sioux he wrote. Great dance hall music. He knew Bob....they did some travel out west back then and packedthe dance halls.

[@colkidglen8802]

Bob lived his teenage years just outside of Turkey, Texas. I was there in 2005, his museum is there. A tiny town, 100 people?

[@DenaWoodTheNDexpress]

That little tiny town swells to a rousing number during Bob Wills Day in Turkey every year.

[@AB-kg6rk]

Bob Wills is still the king!

[@rockymountainrose8189]

Love this interview of Bob Wills. Thanks

[@HauntedBaytown]

+RockyMountainRose Your welcome. Thanks!

[@ronniebishop2496]

Most of the mail came from Oklahoma, and that speaks volumes about who had the taste in music didn’t it?

[@RanchRadio]

Really enjoyed this...have added it to my music history playlist...thanks for making this available.

[@ronniebishop2496]

Love this interview and I think it’s. Amarillo Texas.

Mother waited weeks to see The King in Kelso - Washington at the Glide Hall. Unfortunately Bob was 'in his cups' a bit & had passed out in the car & never made the Show.

[@ronniebishop2496]

Yes he did drink a little and he was also called to be a minister. A lot of people didn’t know that but Johnny Gimble told me that himself.

[@ronniebishop2496]

He starts every sentence with a big WELL! 😅that’s a habit to give him a pause to think a moment.

[@cecilhancock9941]

for the guy who wanted to know what the tune being played at the end it was Maiden Prayer

[@sojnab1]

Great to hear this interview.what year is this interview?Thanks for uploading this

[@HauntedBaytown]

[@ronniebishop2496]

[@russellholt5879]
