I believe that I heard you play once before. It was a wonderful performance! Truly amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
ReplyDeleteYou're music is fantastic! You are a very talented musician and have shown it in these wonderful songs!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much ma'am!
ReplyDeleteVery cool Willie! You are so very talented!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteyou sound real good i think we played together in 1924 in chicago remember that it was fun?
ReplyDeleteYes! matter of fact I do remember! I knew you seemed very familiar to me, you know man I'm getting old haha, I have those days were my vision is blury. It was very exciting to play alongside you. It's nice to see to you again we have to play some more music like that one day when we have time, but artists like us make time. I think that it would be a catch If we got everyone together and played like we used to. I still got it!
ReplyDeleteYes I love your style and how you carry yourself. You are a very wonderful character in the arts, I would say Willie.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you ma'am much appreciated!
