If you aint never been there
Then I guess you ain't been told
That you just can't live in Texas
Unless you got alot of soul.
It's the home of Willie Nelson
The home of western swing
He'll be the first to tell you
Bob Wills is still the king...

Built around 1925, Broyles Mobil Gas Station doesn't look like it will host the latest Power Ball winner anytime soon...nor let road weary patrons relieve themselves in their state of the art restrooms out back...
Another discovery on my evening walk. As I was scoping this out getting ready to take a photograph a young man wheeled up beside me and said “when did they do that?” I told him I was passing through town and hadn’t been there in years. I asked him if he recognized any of them. “No, he did not”.
I explained to him that I believed them to be performers that likely entertained at the theater over the years. I pointed out the few that I did recognize, many were famous before this young mans birth. How many can you identify? Certainly an appropriate mural for a theater.
Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson performed together as The Highwaymen between 1985 and 1995. The group recorded three major label albums which included the #1 country hit, "Highwaymen".
This mural is painted in a rather hard to find place (between Ewing and 6th Ave South on the back of Ed's Supply building) and I just stumbled upon it by accident one day while in downtown (I was actually just trying to turn around). The artists are a group called TM that is made up of Bryan Deese, Ryan Shrader, Audie Adams and other artists who move in and out periodically.
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.
"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11

Title from one of my favourite Waylon tracks, written by Kris Kristofferson. "The Taker"
Model not on PP. My mate Nosh agreed to do a shoot with me. This was me recreating the album cover for the Taker/Tulsa by Waylon Jennings
Quoted from the clear plaque in the middle of this photo...
Johnny Cash's influence on other musicians ranges far and wide and spans many generations.
His songs have been covered by artists ranging from Miley Cirus to Snoop Dogg and Dean Martin to the Who.
Cash's signature tune, "I Walk the Line", has been recorded by over 150 acts.
Seen on the wall are the likes of Leonard Nemoy, Loretta Lynn, Charlie Daniels, Elvis, Ray Charles, Little Richard, Jerry Garcia, Emmy Lou Harris, Ringo Starr, Chris Stapleton, Willie Nelson, Nancy Sinatra, Brooks & Dunn, Dolly Parton, U2, Martina McBride, and Waylon Jennings among the many to cover the Man in Black.

Nashville is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Tennessee. The city is the county seat of Davidson County and is located on the Cumberland River. It is the 23rd most-populous city in the United States.
Named for Francis Nash, a general of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, the city was founded in 1779. The city grew quickly due to its strategic location as a port on the Cumberland River and, in the 19th century, a railroad center. Nashville seceded with Tennessee during the American Civil War; in 1862 it was the first state capital in the Confederacy to fall to Union troops. After the war, the city reclaimed its position and developed a manufacturing base.
Since 1963, Nashville has had a consolidated city-county government, which includes six smaller municipalities in a two-tier system. The city is governed by a mayor, a vice-mayor, and a 40-member metropolitan council; 35 of the members are elected from single-member districts, while the other five are elected at-large. Reflecting the city's position in state government, Nashville is home to the Tennessee Supreme Court's courthouse for Middle Tennessee, one of the three divisions.
A major center for the music industry, especially country music, Nashville is commonly known as "Music City". It is also home to numerous colleges and universities, including Tennessee State University, Vanderbilt University, Belmont University, Fisk University, Trevecca Nazarene University, and Lipscomb University, and is sometimes referred to as "Athens of the South" due to the large number of educational institutions. Nashville is also a major center for the healthcare, publishing, private prison, banking, automotive, and transportation industries. Entities with headquarters in the city include Asurion, Bridgestone Americas, Captain D's, CoreCivic, Dollar General, Hospital Corporation of America, LifeWay Christian Resources, Logan's Roadhouse, and Ryman Hospitality Properties.

The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee, is one of the world's largest museums and research centers dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of American vernacular music. Chartered in 1964, the museum has amassed one of the world's most extensive musical collections.
Membership in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the highest honor a country music professional can receive, is extended to performers, songwriters, broadcasters, musicians, and executives in recognition of their contributions to the development of country music. The Country Music Hall of Fame honor was created in 1961 by the Country Music Association (CMA); the first inductees were Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, and Fred Rose. Roy Acuff, the first living artist to join the Hall of Fame, was elected in 1962. The most recent inductees (class of 2019) are Jerry Bradley, Brooks & Dunn and Ray Stevens.
Over the Hall of Fame's history, the number of new members inducted each year has varied from one to twelve (no nominee was inducted in 1963, no candidate having received sufficient votes). The election procedure is as follows: A small CMA nominating committee drafts slates of candidates from each category; categories have been defined variously over the years. Award recipients are determined through a two-stage balloting process; the first round of voting narrows each category to five candidates; the second round selects winners. The large select committee of electors that votes on Hall of Fame membership is composed of CMA members who have participated in the country music industry for at least ten years. New Hall of Fame members receive special recognition in ceremonies at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Only one legendary singer or musician and one modern singer or musician can get elected to the Hall, unless there is an exact tie in the voting ballots. Also, one musician and one songwriter or music executive can get elected per year.
Bas-relief portraits cast in bronze honoring each Hall of Fame member were originally displayed at the Tennessee State Museum in downtown Nashville until the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum opened its own building in April 1967; in this barn-roofed facility at the head of Music Row, the bronze plaques comprised a special exhibit. Today the plaques are displayed in a seventy-foot-high rotunda at the museum's enlarged downtown Nashville facility.
It's concert time at the Wisconsin state fair,and Waylon is ripping it up as he digs deep into his archives of great music for a one of a kind show at the Wisconsin State Fair. These were the best of times...in my eyes.

Luckily for me, I grew up watching the Dukes of Hazzard with my buddy Jim. When I came to this closed overpass, I knew exactly what to do. I floored it, let out a "YEEHAW!", honked my horn, and cleared the gap. No problemo.

Navajo artist Shonto Begay (b.1954) imagines himself sandwiched between ‘outlaw’ Country Music legends Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings as they get pulled over in a police stop. On display at the James Museum of Western Art & Wildlife, St. Pete.
This was taken during Ballina heritage day and these two cowboys had their hands full all day beating off the ladies; well, ladies of a certain age at least! Here, as you can see, they failed miserably! Better make that joyfully!
It brings to mind the Willie Nelson/Waylon Jennings classic: “Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys” because this picture proves just how wrong Willie got that particular piece of advice!
