Jon wayne texas funeral free download

According to the police report the abnormally high level of alcohol in Pap's blood caused him to spontaneously combust upon impact. Jon collected the charred remains from the sheriff and brought them home to the pig ranch. He stayed up all night drinking popskull whiskey and playing his daddy's records, strumming along on the sumbitch for comfort. Although none of the local folk had known him very well, they all agreed he was a changed man: "He got real kinda mean after the old man went tits up--like a dog does or something.

One local recalled: "Goddamn, you ain't never seen nothing like it. There was pig shit, dog shit, flies, shit everywhere. The boy just sat there on the front porch, hitting on that guitar like he was slapping flies, singing some of them goddamn songs of his'n.

It was like he was in a trance or something--you couldn't even call it music. Shitfire, I'd rather listen to a drunken indian piss on an armadillo. When asked of that shadowy period, he replies with pride: "Shit, it was easier to write my own than sing some other motherfucker's.

I probably wrote of them--most of them still pretty good. Word of the tragedy eventually got to Bea, who was pursuing a career as a topless dancer in Brownsville. With Pappy gone, and with outstanding warrants for criminal activity ranging from bad-check writing to crossing the border for immoral purposes, she decided to come home.

She found the ranch an utter shambles: "One of those damned pigs attacked me, yep. God-a-mighty, them droppings was everwhere! She instructed Jon to take a truckload of the droppings into town and sell them as "good quality manure. She figured that it would be easier to burn most of the contents rather than clean them and so built a large bonfire in back of the house.

She began with Pappy's vintage record collection. Returning home, Jon noticed an odd smell that cut through the stink of his unsold manure. When he saw the bonfire--and Pappy's prized records bubbling in black waxy lump--Jon went temporarily insane.

He asked her what the hell she was doing and she glared back at him: "Boy, there's devil in that music. It killed your pap and now it's taken holt of you. I heard them songs you singing. Amidst the dying squeals, he dragged the pig bodies into a pile and then dumped the truckload of manure on them, shouting unspeakable obscenities at mother Bea.

He made one more dash into the house to rescue his guitar, his liquor and the last of Pappy's records and bid farewell to Pappy's Texas pig ranch. Ain't that up there to Canadia? That's where they make them records. I hear tell Merle Haggard lives there. Fresno Searching for work, women, liquor and like-minded musician-friends, Jon found employment on a mink ranch outside Fresno. The two formed an immediate bond--based on common musical taste, broken homes, a taste for cheap whiskey and cheaper women.

Jimbo 22 years old was playing drums on weekends with two of Fresno's popular local country bands, but was dissatisfied with the material, sound and overall attitude. Jimbo dragged Jon into local nightclubs and badgered him to "sit in" or enter talent contests. Patrons, clubowners and musicians alike found Jon's style too frank and just plain irritating; they mistook his obsessiveness for gross arrogance if not outright insanity.

It became such an issue that Jimbo was soon let go of both working bands. One bandmate remembered: "Hell, he kept bringing that asshole from Texas in here.

After the guy got up and did a song or two, people'd get so pissed off they'd start yelling and chunking bottles at the band. Shit, one night I caught one right above the eye. One day they got liquored up on the mink farm and let the animals stray into the scorching July sun.

Seventeen minks were lost--and with them Jon and Jimbo's jobs. The solution was obvious: form a band.
