The Whitley Family, Troy and his family, along with many Keith Whitley fans want to send our deepest sympathies to Waylons family. This came as a shock for everyone who loved Waylon. Troys comments..."I can remember one of the very first 45 records my mom ever got me was Waylons single "Rainy Day Woman", and I can still remember telling my mom..."Mom, that is the coolest guitar sound I have ever heard". To listen to that song today, I still think that it is one of the greatest guitar licks in country music. At this time, I am still in great shock. Waylon was definitley the John Wayne of Country Music. They call him THE OUTLAW, but ya know what? He wasn't an Outlaw. He just wanted things to be done is way, and made sure that they WERE done HIS WAY. His music was done the way he wanted, not the way Nashville wanted it. That is what the fans loved about him. They werent just getting part Waylon, part Nashville. They got 100% Waylon, and thats the way it should be. Keith was a tremendous fan of Waylon, so is Keiths brother Dwight. I remember hearing Keith do a version of GOOD HEARTED WOMAN and impersonating Waylon and Willie, and did a GREAT job! Dwight usually performs the song at his shows as well. We have a deer skull with antlers on our wall in the living room that we bought at Waylons estate sale a year or so ago, and we have treasured it from day one. Today, as I look on the wall, it saddens me. But one thing I have to remember... We will always have his music, and what good music it was, and is!!!  On February 13th 2002, we lost a Great Legend, but at the same time, Keith Whitley got to meet one of his Idols.   Waylon, we will never forget you! We love love you Hoss!

The ride....

On Friday, June 22, 2001, a parade of rain soaked motorcyclists lead by a red wrecker belonging to the late Randy "Robo" Evans, left Sandy Hook, Kentucky headed to Nashville, Tennessee.  I guess it is true that Keith Whitley fans are not Strangers to the Rain.  As a solemn reminder fo the true meaning of this ride, we circled around the Elliott County memorial Gardens and waved to the "We remember you" banners that flew above the graves of Randy Whitley, Randy Evans and Billy Smith.  The rumble of the motorcycles shook the earth around the cemetery as we began to travel the symbolic path of Keith Whitley's country music success, from Sandy Hook, Kentucky to Nashville, Tennessee. more>>
