Willie was also in a really good episode of Miami Vice. He played a retired Texas Ranger.

Terrible score. Won’t even say what it was. Beer for my horses is the only song I like.

I was hoping for that elusive 0/10, but I ended up with four correct guesses.

10/10, but did have to guess. Big fan of his. Have a bunch of his stuff and have read his auto-biography.

"You got 5 out of 10.
The good news is: Willie's got a few autobiographies you can check out!"

Anything he did with Waylon I really enjoyed.
RIP Mister Jennings.
My dad did some work for Waylon back in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s. Waylon used to sing at a club in Tempe AZ called JD’s, he also played at a lounge in Phoenix called Mr. Lucky’s. And my husband and I danced to “Mammas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys” at our wedding lol

When my sister got married, she and our dad did the father-daughter dance to On The Road Again--sort of a two-person line dance. Pretty damn good, too, when you consider she got married in February and Dad turned seventy that September...!

Should have been able to guess better than that.
