I had a thing for him when I was in high school.

I'll give ya 200 Bucks for the lot.

I'm gonna have to pay someone to separate the items, they're going to take up a lot of room in the store, and it will probably take a year or two to sell it all. That's a long time to keep my money tied up, and you'll walk out of here with the $200.

[KoRn]

Damn Rick, I wouldn't have give him more than $150. Those boys are gonna kill me...

[knittnmom]

Hank’s boots and the telecaster might be worth something. The other stuff, not so much, IMHO.

"In Philadelphia it's worth 50 bucks..."

A nice gesture by Jessi, IMO. I wonder if that black crayon drawing of Johnny Cash was done by the same "William Nelson" that contributed the braids... if so, it would definitely be a cool triple-play piece of memorabilia.

Of all the C&W I paid attention to back in the day, Waylon's music rates high among that which I still regularly listen to and enjoy; the whole "outlaw" schtick aside, I appreciated some of the curve balls he was willing to throw and the really neat bit placed here and there (like the assertive, almost rockin' mandolin on "Never Could Toe the Mark").

lol!

“How much for the gun?”

(hmm????)

That’s one of my favorite movies of all time. lol

[Scoutmaster]

I was torn between the Tele and Buddy Holly's motorbike.

Now that I know your preference, I'll take the motorbike.

[dmz]

I’ll take the 53 Tele please..

You and me both.

Nor did I know he had died.

From Wiki:

On February 13, 2002, Jennings died from complications of diabetes.

Here is a fun song by Waylon Jennings: “Are you sure Hank done it this way?”

Bo Diddley RIP.

[Constitution Day]

Very cool! I had heard about the Ariel motorcycle auction, but not the other items, nor the fact that this will benefit a children’s hospital.

Side note: Today is Hank Senior’s birthday. I know, because he and I share the same birthday. He was born in 1923.

Lyrics:

“Are you sure Hank done it this way?”

Lord it’s the same old tune, fiddle and guitar
Where do we take it from here?
Rhinestone suits and new shiny cars
It’s been the same way for years
We need to change

Somebody told me when I came to Nashville
Son you finally got it made
Old Hank made it here, we’re all sure that you will
But I don’t think Hank done it this way, no
I don’t think Hank done it this way, okay

Ten years on the road, making one night stand
Speeding my young life away
Tell me one more time just so I’ll understand
Are you sure Hank done it this way?
Did old Hank really do it this way?

Lord I’ve seen the world with a five piece band
Looking at the back side of me
Singing my songs, one of his now and then
But I don’t think Hank done ‘em this way, no
I don’t think Hank done ‘em this way, take it home
