MUSIC

"The highway called when I was young,
Told me lies of things to come.
Fame and fortune lies ahead! 
That's what the billboard lights had said.
Shattered dreams, my mind is numb, 
My money's gone, stick out my thumb.
My eyes are filled with bitter tears, 
Lord, I ain't been home in years.
Got the Highway Forty blues."

 

Rickey Skaggs and Larry Cordle

Willin'
written by
Lowell George

His band Little Feat did a great cut

 

I been warped by the rain, driven by the snow
I'm drunk and dirty don't ya know,

and I'm still, oh I'm still
Out on the road late at night,

I seen my pretty Alice in every head light
Alice, Dallas Alice
 
I've been from Tuscon to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Now I driven the back roads

so I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me: weed, whites, and wine
and you show me a sign
I'll be willin', to be movin'


Margo, Ramblin' Jack, Shelly and Tracy, these girls with
Octagon  were part of the Crossroads Production team 
that made the event even happen...our thanks to Pam 
Moore, Maria Brunner at Insight Mgt. and  these gals 
for all  their work to make this happen...
