THE BEST HONKY TONK IN THE WORLD 24/7…A BLOG



No matter what time it is, you can turn to Sirius Channel 64 and jump into WILLIE’S PLACE.  It is the best honky tonk in the world.  Once you get inside, you are going to hear the best of all great country traditional country music.  The list goes on forever because every day they play something different.  Lefty Frizzell, Leon Russel, Junior Brown, Asleep at the wheel, Waylon, and of course lots of Wille.



How many of you remember Dell Woods who use to bang on the piano of the Grand Ol Opry playing “Down Yonder.”  She is on there.  Many new artist that keeps this type of music alive are on there…so this music never has to die.



I absolutely do not want to go to work on some mornings because…why?  Sit in the car and have a blast or work…..hhmmm…and then when I come home I feel like a twelve pack and driving down to the river and singing along with Jerry Jeff Walker with “up against the wall rednecks mothers”  the official theme song of all country mothers.  You could all come down to the river with me and crank up the sound…BYOB.



Bob Wills is still the king and it is so prevalent on Willie’s Place.  Willie and Asleep at the Wheel just release a new album all about Bob Wills music.  They had a live broadcast of the concert.

I don’t sell Sirius subscriptions, but just the price of a Willie Nelson concert ticket would be well worth the fee for several months of Willie’s place radio.  I believe that you can get a reduced price if you just want it on your computer only.  If you have a certain satellite tv, you already get Sirius, check out the program guide.  You may never watch HBO again !!!!

But I am telling you folks something, once your ears gets a load of this station, you might burn your local radio stations down and tar and feather the owners and run them out of town.  This is how music is supposed to be played.  You all have heard me say before, country music is like a great family reunion, and you give your love and hugs to the great grandmother and the oohs and aahs to the newest newborn nephew.

So take it from the ol’ Shoeshine Boy…this is one place you may want to spend a little bit of your money…

Well, I worked in a place that claimed to be the best honky tonk in the world... Tootsie's Orchid Lounge. Of course, never saw Willie Nelson in there.
