Billie Joe Shaver


Sad for me to see, this great songwriter and performer has died.

I saw him with his son as Shaver in SoHo London long ago, and a few years back as a solo with a band in Sellersville PA. He was fantastic each time, and was to return to Sellersville, I have a ticket, but that was cancelled.

For those who know him and his recordings, or those who only are familiar with the many covers of his wonderful songs, this marks a sad passing.

Sad news. The old guard is leaving us fast. What a great songwriter and performer. I’m glad he achieved a little popularity so that we have recordings of his work with Eddie and solo to listen to and watch.
What sad news, one of the last of the outlaw country guys we had left and one hell of a song writer, just ask Waylon. Saw him a few years ago in Sugar land Texas and a year before that at a little place in Tomball, what a blast, one of those guys you would want to just sit and listen to his stories as you shared a drink with. Know what I will be listening to tonight. RIP
