Don didn’t rush much that is for sure. Having seen him perform live many many times it was a treat every time. He was a gentle giant of a man and was completely no frills. It’s really cool to see an entire audience captivated by 1 man sitting on a stool playing a guitar and singing. No flash no pyrotechnics no extras, just plain and simple good music.

It seemed to give her the strength to say to herself if dad says I can do this then I can do this.

I have a personal Don Williams story if you bear with me. A man named Bill Hall from Beaumont Texas started a music studio/artitist management/ and publishing company in Beaumont Texas. He was friends with and discovered George Jones, The Big Bopper, Johnny Winter…. He later moved to Nashville and became big in artist management and publishing. At the time of his heart attack where he died 3 days later, he had come back to Beaumont to visit his 99 year old mother. I met Mr. Williams and his wife in a surgical waiting room. Don Williams had just canceled a European tour (he was huge there) to rush to Beaumont to see his friend. He is just like his songs, the Gentle Giant. Don is the real deal! As a further musical history lesson, Bill’s friend and song writer, Alan Reynolds, sidekick of “Cowboy” Jack Clemente (Jack was the engineer at Sun Studios that 1st recorded Elvis and worked with Johnny Cash putting the trumpets in Ring of Fire) called my dad to meet him one day. I drove my dad to the bar where we met. Alan informed my dad that he and Jack had broken up after 40 plus years in a disagreement over a young artist that Alan believed in and Jack did not. I sat on the bar stool and heard Alan tell my dad we would be hearing about this new guy who he said would be the biggest ever. That artists name was Garth Brooks! This is all 100% true! Check the forward in Garth’ auto-biography.
