    I was a kid of the late 70's and 80's.
    "Dukes" was an EVERY week thing to me. I watched it every single time it was on. Every one of my friends wanted to be those Duke boys and we all had that normal crush on Daisy, sure enough.
    Seeing Waylon playing that old guitar as the show opened never clicked until I started going through my mom's old record collection. When I ran across his greatest hits record and made the connection between it, the man on the cover, and the show, it blew my 9 year old mind,
    She's raise the windows in our old house and put a record on the turn table sometimes, and sometimes it'd be THAT record, with those awesome old tunes flowing out of the windows for anybody in the neighborhood to hear. Even if they didn't want to...lol.
    I grew up with a love for GOOD country music, and even learned a thing or two from that old show, so I'd just like to say thanks to both Tom and Waylon for being part of the best years of my life.
    Happy Birthday up there, Waylon.
    We sure miss you down here.

    Waylon was one of the first country singers I listened to. The Outlaws. I worked night crew in a grocery store. Transferred to a new store in 1976 and they would not let us play our radios over the store sound system. We had a choice of 2 stations, elevator music or country. We chose country. Waylon, Willie and the boys. And I've been listening to country ever since. I miss Waylon too. And all the rest of them that have gone to the big show. But Waylon and his friends left their music here. And I'm still listening and loving it.
