I'm writing this to let you know that waylon.com now featuers "Waylon's World" an interactive forum. Right now, I've chosen 3 topics. There will be more in the future as needed. So, get to waylon.com and click on the 'waylon's world' link on the menu bar to the left and away you'll go. Shooter is in the new Johnny Cash movie coming out soon. Don't forget to go and see it, I am. I thought I'd share what many of you are writing me regarding the recent labeling of a new generation of outlaws... this quote is from Ruth in Kentucky...... "My own opinion here I guess; but I sure think something about the "Outlaws__The Real Outlaws" is entirely gone astray.. Such as the shows of today display many; "either trying to prove they are, or working their (I will be nice here) butts off cause they "wanna be",,,an "Outlaw" like Waylon. Seems to me the whole point is sorely missed. The Real Outlaws never worked__to be; or try to prove---anything. They just WERE cause they were the REAL thing. Never had anything to do with the "clothes they wore"..antics or stage attitudes; or crossing over to try and win the next Grammy. The Real Outlaws were----because of WHO they were-- their musical abilities....and inward desire and LOVE of music.,And the REAL outlaw WAS---because He was ----Real Country Music. Not a "put_on" facade'; or a display of an wrangly sarcastic verbal string of ___"put it where the sun don't shine"! THE OUTLAW was REAL---no acting; you got what -----he was. All music....all done his way. All with a message, and all with conviction. The INNER man---the REAL Waylon Jennings. The Real Outlaw.The man__the music----no separation. He was right...they took it too far!!" end quote. She's not alone. Anyway, that's one of the topics on the forum that you can weigh in on. I started carrying a Johnny Cash CD and a Willie Nelson CD for people who don't have access to better record stores. They are the "16 Big Hits" cds. It's a great collection of music for any artist. Due to all the hype on the Outlaw movement, the Outlaw T-shirt is on sale right now. And I'm going to post a new shirt tonight that we designed especially for the Hoss Army....It's called "Waylon's World" Check it out late tonight. If you're interested I found a Christmas CD with 1 Waylon song on it. It's a Norman Rockwell Country Christmas CD. I'll have that listed on Monday. These will be very limited quantities as I didn't buy alot of them since Waylon only has 1 song on it. Word on the street is that Jessi will have a new album in March FINALLY! I'm trying to reach her to confirm all the details. If it's out, waylon.com will have it. Shooter's putting the final touches on his new album which will be out in March. He just shot his next video in California, Jessi went to see it and said it was a lot of fun. Most importantly, I am this close to signing a deal with nyekass (www.nyekass.com) firearms to do a waylon limited edition long rifle similar to the one he's holding in a photo with Johnny Cash on an album I have to figure out the name of. Anyway, there will only be 50 guns made and they will feature his logo, his signature and possibly his face. That's the sticky part. Waylon NEVER liked anyones paintings or drawings of his face. So, we are being very sensitive about that. The gun manufacturer wants his face on it but Jessi and myself feel like we need to be true to Waylon himself. So, we shall see how the artwork turns out. Back to the gun itself, it will retail for about $2200 and each will be numbered. If you're interested in reserving one, you will be able to do so through waylon.com and nyekass. Right now, you can email me, if you're interested and I'll contact you via email or phone. Please send both if you want to reserve one. Since the deal isn't signed I don't want any money, you will end up paying nyekass directly. There are 3 or 4 of you that I want to get low numbered editions....Jeff, Jim, Howard and a few others I'm not listing (I apologize). There will be a lot more info on these guns soon. You'll be able to see one of them in the Nashville and possibly the Texas location of the Bass Pro Shops when they come out. This is a very exciting project that will hopefully lead to a long relationship with Nyekass and Bass Pro Shops. That's enough for now, hope everyone is well and listening to Waylon Jennings. david waylon.com WAYLON RULES!! ************************************************************************************* I am proud David used my article I sent to CMT on Waylons Update Newsletter...Thanks David....you made my day!!
