People may like BOxcar willie, but I love him. He is my favorite christian singer. I do not have many of his tapes, but I love him and I am sorry he passed away. I never got to see him live in Branson, but does that matter? I don't think so. Denise Cav. Kentwood, MI USA Loved his music, I was a big fan Gerry O'Neill Preston, Lancs. UK, USA Some years ago, there was an item on a BBC Lunchtime Radio Show. A lady had asked if she could fulfill a dream of being marooned, in a lift, (elevator) with Box Car Willie. This was achieved, to her great delight, and mine. How did this strange encounter come about? Also, has Boxcar Willie the song, "Hobo Bill's Last Ride" in his repertoire. This was recorded, in the 1940's by Tex Ritter, I think and would be ideal for Boxcar Wille all Best Wishes from Gerry O'neill UK joseph odonnellb methuen, MA USA I think that boxcar willie was a great person and a great singer. joseph odonnell methuen, MA USA I think that boxcar willie was a great person and a great singer. todd Dunnville, CANADA I GOT TO SEE BOXCAR SHOW 2 TIME,S AND GOT TO MEET HIM IN BRANSON AND I HAVE SOME LIVE VIDEO,S OF THE SHOW,S I WAS AT I TRAVEL BE BUS FRO CANADA BOXCAR I WELL MISS YOU R.

Terry GLENN FARROW ST JOSEPH, MO USA WE ALWAYS CAUGHT BOXCAR'S SHOW WHEN WE WERE IN BRANSON. WE MISS HIM AND HIS GIFT SHOP AND MUSEUM Joyce Wallace rockford, IL USA Box was my husband's, favorite singer for as long as he could remember. So was I. We are not rich but we saved our money to go to branson in 1996. we went to his 7/02/96 at 2pm. I bought my husband box's doll and he autographed it for him. after the show we went to his museum and gift shop and got to tapes and he was there and he autographed them also. He spent a good bit of time just talking to us as if he knew us for years. We enjoyed Branson very much, box was the highlight of the trip, it was for our anniversary. I am have some strange feelings about some of the people I meet and talk to for awhile. I felt that Boxcar Willie would be leaving us soon. When I found out he had cancer, it did not shock me but it sure made me sad. I only wish we had ordered the video of that performance and wish I could get one now to give to my husband. His health is getting bad and I would like to bring back those memories Box gave us. Boxcar Willie will remain in our hearts forever. I took a picture of him and my husband, and the doll. I made it into and 8x10 and it is framed and hangs in our home. God must like his singing also, so he took him to be in his chorse. Jessica Williford Jasper, TX USA My dad has always been a big fan of Boxcar Willie. He met him in DFW airport many years ago. Daddy was walking through the airport and he looked beside him. Boxcar Willie was walking right beside him and daddy recognized him by his fishing lure hat and asked him if he played guitar and Willie said "sometimes" and daddy asked him if he sang and Willie said "sometimes". Daddy said "you Boxcar Willie, aint cha?" and Willie said "yep." My daddy was so thrilled to meet him that he didn't ask for an autograph. He just took off walking with a big grin on his face. Ron Towler St. Charles, MO USA For years I have been coming to Branson , and in the past always saw the Box Car Willie Show. Its just not the same any more going to the Branson area. Box was like a member of the family and I sure do miss him. But now he's playing his unique style of music before the Throne and those streets of gold. We all miss you Box! Sincerely, Ron Towler tony novara green bay, WI USA I lovethe songs you wrotw and sang. My dad also loves your music. God Bless you Boxcar Michaela Des Moines, IA USA I am trying to find the name of a Boxcar Willie song with the lyrics "They say we're getting (growing) old and gray, Maggie" Mike Mullin Virginia, RSA I have been a fan of Boxcar Willie, for many years, and since recently acquiring access to the internet, I asked my wife to find out more about him for me. I was very sad to learn that he had passed away, but am very grateful that he will always remain loved and remembered by the world of Country Music and his fans for generations to come. Boxcar Willie, We will miss You, and we wish your family and friends a lifetime of treasured memories! Take Care and may God Bless You All. Fondest Regards, Mike Mullin.

RICK WALLER AK USA I LOVE THE WILLIE TOO! RONALD BERRY SEATTLE, WA USA In Boxcar's "Wabash Cannonball" he refers to Billy Housten and Daddy Claxton. Who are (were) they? stan cornish wellsville, NY USA I loved Boxcar deeply and miss his train whistle very much! Nathaniel Bridger CANADA Ride on, Boxcar Willie, the first place in line On the Through Freight to Glory is yours for all time. When Jesus He travelled from Mountain to Sea His pack it was light and His soul it was free; He blessed all who loved Him and welcomed Him in, And many a wand'rer He claimed as His kin. Now when the freight whistles in Heaven's green hills Where the sun never birns and the wind never chills, On rails of pure silver and sleepers of gold Old Hoboes arrive at their home in His fold. Ride on Boxcar Willie, may your star ever shine Beyond the red board, at the end of the line. Anna McDougald Winnipeg, CANADA You've lifted our spirits, time and again With your voice like the wind on the wide lonely plain, And your hard-driving music with it's message of cheer May your Switch Lights to Heaven be all "Green and Clear"! We Miss You, Willie--Thanks for the tunes! Violet Allen Harmony, MN USA Maybe 15 years ago I took an elderly neighbor to a Boxcar Willie concert in Houston, MN. My neighbor had been a hobo and related to Box. I had not heard much about him. I left his show that day a big fan! Alot of singers can sing their own songs well, but Box could sing ANY song by anyone better!! I prayed for him when he was ill and mourned the loss of a great entertainer! robert pfund omaha, NE USA Iwas in high school when my band from Hartington,Nebraska played at eh local county fair and we got to be the warm act for Bozcar Willie. I still have the pictures and love is music today. May God bless Boxcar!!!!!!!!! Joyce Hawn Hagerstown, MD USA I really like BoxCar Willie songs his music will always live on I enjoy this site keep up with the good works. R. Zubicek Sealy, TX USA I too was born and raised next to the Katy railroad track. I still long to hear once again the sound of those great iron beasts and the lonesome whistle in the night. Every time we go to Branson, which is often, we always make it a point to stay in the Box Car Wille Motel. My fondest moment of Willie was the time many years ago when he was performing at the Austin County Fair. Willie was sitting on a chair playing and singing his train songs. My young daughter, age 10 at the time, and I sat next to Willie for hours while he entertained. My daughter still remenbers sitting on Willie's lap during intermission. Moments in time to remember and relish. Willie was one of us, pure and down to home.I'm sure that the reason God called Willie home is that He loved train song too. tom pete westwendover, NV USA i grew up on boxcarwillies music and i stil listen to it i'll never get tired of it Jim Rizer Live Oak,, FL USA I always loved Boxcar's Music. I put him in the same category as Hank Williams. I wrote a song for him but he passed before I could get it to him.We will miss him greatly.Jim thomas wolf inverness, FL USA I work for railroad as a conductor I think about box car willie at work as I see men in box cars rideing the rails Fern bathurst, canada I was first introduced to Willie's music by my parents at a young age. After that I begged them to get me all of his albums. Willie has a voice that can't be duplicated. But I'm sure he's still singing and blowing that train whistle up in heaven. I guess we'll just have to wait to hear it again Lloyd Haymon Friendswood, TX USA "I have loved Box Car's music for as long as I can remember, and I go way, way back. I have always respected the man and when I sing, I think of Box Car and hope he would enjoy my songs. Love you guys and God bless. kenny rogers glen burnie, MD USA My wife and I first saw boxcar willie at sunset park in Pa. He did 2 shows and we met and talked with him between shows as he signed autographs. We liked him so much we started going to his shows traveling across the country and also branson. Along the way we met some wonderful friends who are all boxcar fans. We made great friends through boxcar and he always found time to talk with us and once had lunch with us at a picnic table. We have many great memories and we truly miss him and his music. One of the true country artist of our time will always live on in our hearts. susan jones centralia, WA USA i love his music. i lke it a lot better then someof the music they have out now Dan Wiebe Niagara Falls, Canada I was first introduced to Willie's music as a child on my parents 8 Track Player.

Don Studebaker joplin, MO USA I was upset to hear that boxcar willies museum was closed and all it's contents were sold at auction. It's sad to see that real country music is dying & being replaced by those that have no hopes of ever filling the shoes of the late great singers like Boxcar willie , Roy acuff , Bill Monroe , the list is endless.

I am remodelling my office & I am interested in any type of Boxcar Willie memorabelia that I could use to redecorate my new office where I play all my Boxcar willie songs. I am very interested in anything that has to do with Boxcar willie.

George Morton East Marion, NY USA I have been a big BCW fan since I first heard of him. Watched him on the Opry, have some of his tapes. I am going to get CD's now as they make the music sound so much better. I remember when he appeared on the Opry a couple of years back, after he had recovered enough to visit on the Opry and with his friends around the Country via TV. He stood there telling about his recovery and said something like, "I'm so glad the Lord allowed me to get back here to sing for you again" and he did. Those are as close to his words as I can remember. But I think you can see what he was feeling at the time. BoxCar, Monroe, Lester Flatt, and Johnnie Russell, can you imagine what a show that would be and who they would have as their guests. God Love'em. George Morton betty texarkana, AR USA i have one of his first albums and i love it. John Mckenna Redcliffe Qld 4020, Australia Miss you BoxCar and knowing there will be no more new releases but I still have a lot of your CD's which I play often to keep your memory alive.

Those were 7 days of Boxcar Willie. 7 days of pure bliss. Thought the guy was alive! Wish I could find the rest of his music in Kenya. RUTH ANNE AHNER POTTSTOWN, PA USA HE WAS ONE OF MY BEST SINGERS I LOVED TO HEAR HIM AND WILL BEGREATLY MISSED Sharon Henderson Vicksburg, MS USA I am wrriting in rememberance of one of the "Greastest" men on this earth. And I feel that I was so priviliged to have met and talked with him one on one. He was one that you could feel he was a family man who truely loved his family. You couldn't help but love him. He also cared about the people around him. I live in Vicksburg Mississippi,and I worked at the time I met him, at Ameristar Casino as a shuttle driver. As I shuttled him down to his first show on his last night at the boat we were talking about music. He asked if I had a demo and I told him I did, and that I had won 3 trips to Nashville by entering contest. When we reached the boat, he got to the stair well as he was getting off and stood dead still and just looked at me and said,"Girl.., those eye's of yours are going to get you a long... way". And he smiled. And it was only through kindness. Nothing more. Later that night. I was told he had sent his guys out looking for me to open his 2nd and last show of the evening. He even called the transportation shack asking for me. I found out about it 3 days later and sit and cried myself sick. My supervisor deliberately would not tell me about it. My supervisor called me a cry baby and said it couldn't be that important to me. But little did he know that was a dream becoming reality. A prayer being answered. And I believe that Mr. Martin was the Angel in charge of that dream coming true. But someone stood in the way. And I saw that one person who stood in the way and he has came way down the ladder. Not that I wanted it to happen. I just had to except it, and let God have his way about things. I still pray God would see fit, that one day I will have another chance as Mr. Martin was giving me. May God rest his soul and take care of his faily left behind. Mrs. Martin, you have the sweetest husband and your children have the sweetest Dad. Be proud of him. I say you "have", because I know he is still with you. Not in body, but in spirit. May God richly bless each of you with his blessings from above And THANKYOU for this lovely website so we might learn more about Mr. Martin. Sincerely Your's Sharon Henderson Vicksburg, MS. email@example.com Bobby curtis delco, NC USA I was checking the web site out and was so sadden to learn of the death of Boxcar willie. The last time I saw him was a clip they did on the Opry and he said he was going to overcome his sickness,I am sure God knew best for him and took him to bve with him. I loved his music and I took him to ba a christian man and very humble. Any thoughts anyone would like to share on his family/Christian live would love to hear from you. May his music and the one and only always live in our hearts, for those of those who love God, america, and our great Country Music, and Boxcar willie, the man who played a great part of our railroad music and great american songs. God bless you Bobby Curtis Delco, N.C.28436 Country singer and guitar player Dale McIntyre Pa, PA USA I'am a steel player& i have most all of BOXCAR;S cassette's Which I play along with all the time he would be proud, I know. Sincerly Dale. Stephan Koenig Ličge, BEL One of his songs (Wabash Cannonball) is still staying in my mind. By the way, when was it issued? john brown glasgow, u.k I am tryin to find a song by BCW with the lyrics 'take me to paradise', can anyone help please john brown glasgow, u.k I am tryin to find a song by BCW with the lyrics 'take me to paradise', can anyone help please Kurt Orning Hayfield, MN USA Shortly before Boxcar became ill, my band opened a show for him near where I live in Minnesota. We had a great time working with him and were impressed by his professionalism. He was very cordial and helpful. Shortly after I saw him on "Opry Backstage" being interviewed by Porter Waggoner. During the interview Boxcar,speaking about his career and life, said, "You gotta have some help along the way." The comment stuck with me for some reason and a little while later I finished writing a song built around that comment and Boxcar's life story. It's called the Ballad of Boxcar Willie. I sent it to his son who I had met during the show, but I haven't heard anything back from him. Maybe someday someone will want to record it. I hope so because I think fans of Boxcar would really appreciate it. It has a narrative in it along with the song that carries a spiritual message about the true meaning of the whistle and the legacy left by Boxcar. If you are interested contact me and I will mail out to you free of charge a home recording I made of the song. Margaret Brown Glasgow, USA Boxcar was a great loss to me & all his fans in Scotland. I met him so many times over here. He use to call me Scottie. I went to see him in Branson & he wrapped his arms about me & said " I knew you would make it over here some day" I love you Boxcar. God Bless Mrs Box & all the family Scottie Dean Clausen Lino Lakes, MN USA I met BCW several years ago at a concert in MN. He took the time to acknowlage all of his fans between sets. I think the biggest fan of his was my 6 year old son. I think my son Mike had every tape BCW ever made. It was February 23 when we saw him, (my dad, son, cousin and myself). It was my sons birthday and BCW sang a song for him and invited him on stage. What a wonderful man. I still listen to him when the chance arises. I should plan a trip with my elderly father to Branson. (and my son) I know we would all enjoy it. Thanks Box Car Willie for given us the memories that always bring back fond memories. God Bless, -Dean and family Doug Weedon St. Clair, Australia I have been a big fan of Boxcars for years and every radio show I do I play one or two of his songs. I never had the pleasure of meeting him or seeing him live but he has been a big influence on me as far as Country music is concerned. It was the hardest thing I have ever done on radio was to announce his passing to my listeners. My wife and I visited Branson last year and I deemed it a great honour to have visited his gravesite. What a marvellous tribute to him is the wonderful headstone fitted to his grave. You will always be my hero, Rest in peace mate Doug Weedon Sydney Australia Harvey Evison Dewberry Alberta TOB-1GO, Canada I really enjoyed listening BCW ad His train songs also His Gospel CD.If possible could you send me the Gospel Cd of BCW and a catalog.No one can top His way of singing those songs.I do thank you and May God Bless RUTH ANNE AHNER AK USA BOXCAR WILLIE IS ONE OF FAVORITES Alf Trautner Floersbachtal, Germany I got the first audio tape of BCW in the late 70's in South Africa, seen him there and later in Germany on TV - a great musician - the country music I like and know is definitely represented by him. I am glad that I have met him - even only by electronic means. Now I found this web site so I can order the CD's I did not have so far. Please keep it up - it is fantastic to hear his music. Brandy mason lucedale, MS USA I am looking for lyrics and the c.d.,cassette tape. To one of Box Car Willie's songs it has teddybear in it. My Fiance thought that was the name of the song as I come to find out it is not. So If you have any info. on the song I am looking for Please e-mail me @ email@example.com Thank you. Danny Miller Marietta, GA USA I had the pleasure of playing lead guitar for Boxcar Willie several times in 1979-80 at a nightclub called Country Roads in Lithonia, Georgia. He was a blast to play with and a fine gentleman. I cherish those memories of the shows we did together. I never knew there were so many train songs. He was one of the all time favorite people that I ever played lead guitar for in my life. He personally tried to teach me how to do the train whistle, but I just couldn't get it. I was saddened to learn of his passing, but I know that he is driving that great locomotive in the sky. God bless Boxcar Willie.

Boxcar Willie rules Anders Hansson Hammenhog, Sweden Hi. First time I heard Boxcar Willie was on television in 1978. Its was in a program called World Country Festval. I have still the videorecordings from the programs. Jon Doutt Butler, PA USA Box and i shared the same love of flying and music we talked meny times about both the last time was sitting with him in the cockpit of his plane after a show one nite and every one was gone home . He was a very fine person and down to earth guy and one of country music finest.I mis him very much . Jon C Doutt michael ephlin osceola, AR USA i never got to see boxcar in branson but i got to see him on the opry. he was a great talent and he will dearly be missed. god bless you boxcar. nancy bradenton, FL USA thanks for sharing this web site is wonderful here is our web site if you would care to go see it and we would love to have you sign our guest book too www.ringerz.com Don Studebaker joplin, MO USA I moved to Missouri from Michigan in 1990 and one of my 1st stops after settling in was the Boxcar Willie show in Branson Mo. I am very honored that I was able to meet him & I attended his shows at least 1 time yearly until his passing. He is sadly missed by me but remembered greatly as his music plays on constantly in my home and my collection of Boxcar memrobelia gets larger as the months go by. He was a childhood hero of mine as I admired his train whistle, anyway I finally learned after several years of trying how to do that train whistle and on May 27, 1992 I took my girlfriend to the show for her birthday & the 1st thing I did was when he was telling the little story about the fast train I screamed out (Yes Just me) HOW FAST WAS IT? and the whole audience laughed at / with me as my face was red as could be. That same night as Boxcar saluted the flag as he was exiting the stage I did the train whistle & Ole Box took a double take as he walked off the stage as to say "who did that?" . Unfortunately the train whistle part was not on my video tape I have of the show, but for my friend, girlfriend , & myself The memory will live forever. Boxcar Wille & his group were great people and the one thing I appreciate him the most for is that he kept it "PURE COUNTRY"! GOD bless the family of Boxcar as I can only imagine how much he is missed by ya'll. Just alwys remember "There's no tears in Heaven"! Randy NE USA My dad listened to Boxcar, and it just stuck with me. I'm dissapointed I won't get the opportunity to see him perform live. sharon tyler theodore, AL USA i met boxcar in independance mo a long time ago on july 12 my birthday. i have beenlooking for his cd with highway to heaven on it. charlie london, iv loved u marty since i first heard you in guillingham 1979 you helped me through a difficalt time in my life helping me recover from a coma in 1980 with your train whistle n music via a tape recording that was played to me as i slept and when i was recovering your music has helped me and i respect you and will allways miss you my good buddy email@example.com charlie Susan Karmazin Lawrence, NE USA I am very sorry of the loss of one of my idols and legend in my heart. I'll never forget the first time I heard Boxcar sing. I was riding in the car with my parents and grandpa. My Grandpa had just been told he had cancer everywhere and had a few weeks left. We had a 9 hour drive to take Grandpa back to his hometown. We listened to Boxcar all the way. I love listening to him it was always a special thing between my grandpa and me. Boxcar brings that special connection for me as they looked alike. I hardly ever saw my Grandpa without his overalls! Someday I will get to Branson, just to say I was there! Thank you for keeping the legend alive! God Bless from Nebraska! Nashville Line Dancers Aalen Aalen, Germany Now it's the first time watching your homepage. It's great – I like it.

John Krupa Albion, N.J. 08009, NJ USA His music will be with me til the Lord takes me home. Stay away from Trains and loaded dice! God Bless Boxcar and his family. jim myrick meridian, MS USA Boxcar was a great entertainer. For many years he and his band graced the stage of the temple theater for the jimmie rogers festival. And helped to keep that genre of country music going with the likes of earnist tubb and his son justin. Also tanya tucker , moe bandy and willie nelson just to name a few. The man loved his fans ! He was proud to always include a gospel song in his show. And good clean humor to boot. He was the embodiement of a good family act! I wish more would take his lead ! I thought of him the same way when he was living. He is still alive in me today. But i truly miss him. He still puts a smile on my face today. JB Beverley Washington, DC USA As a runaway teen, I was prone to catching out all along the southeast and abroad. I had a duffle bag, an old walk-man, and three tapes. Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, and Boxcar Willie. Having that music around me while riding the rails, playing my music, and seeing the country left a lasting impression on me, and a sense of style I carry with me to this day. My hobo days may be less frequent now, but the spirit lives on with every song I sing. May God shine his light on Willie's essence forever! -JB Kathy UK Only got to see Boxcar once but I will always remember it. He was full of character and put on a tremendous show. You;ll never be forgotten Box Cathy Rolfe Gifford, PA USA My husbond and I would like to see the museum some day. We just heard about it on the television. Terry Connor London SE23 3RD, AK UK I met Box at Catford in London years ago. He was fantastic, he awoke my interest in the music of the beautiful south. God Bless him and may he shine with the stars. Terry Kevin Omagh, N.I. I loved to hear box,s whistle .And haev a great number of his muusical c.d.s The sadest day off my life was when box passed away I know he is there blowing that big train whistle in the sky . We miss you box Roger P Tomlinson Flushing, OH USA I MET BOX CAR IN THE EARLY 80'S AT CADIZ, OHIO, HARRISON COUNTY FAIR. AFTER THAT WHEN I GOT THE CHANCE I WENT TO HIS SHOWS. I ALWAYS GOT TO TALK TO HIM AFTERWORDS. AFTER I GOT MARRIED MY WIFE AND I WOULD GO EVERY CHANCE WE GOT. MY WIFE WORKES AT THE HAMPTON INN IN ST. CLAIRSVILLE, OHIO AND BOXCAR USED TO STAY THERE WHEN HE WENT TO WHEELING JAMBEREE AT WWWVA RADIO STATION.

THANKS BOXCAR. I KNOW YOU ARE CHECKING YOUR EMAIL ON GODS COMPUTOR, MY GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY UNTIL YOU ALL MEET AGAIN UP THERE. ROGER Harold & Shirley Pulley Granite City,, IL USA We loved Boxcar and miss him dearly. We presented him with a handmade doll in 1999 on stage. The greatest moment in our lives was when Boxcar invited us on stage to present the doll to him. Was wondering if the museum is still open in Branson. Going to try to get back down there in 2005. Miz Box I'm sure you miss him much more than any of us, but you know he's in the best hands now. Arnt Oland TX USA Du har vert en stor Contrystjerne.Hilsen.Arnt SAWendt Nashville, TN USA Sending love and best wishes your way! God bless you! ----- www.theearlydays.com ----- www.pedalsteel.us Paul C. Staffier. Mendon, MA USA I was lucky enough to see Box Car Willie perform at his theater in Branson, in 1995 and again in 1996. He was very gracious to me and my son, Mike. He posed with Mike for a picture in hos gift shop. Then he signed autographs during intermission and remembered Mike from the gift shop. Mike and I will always remember our meetings with Box Car. We know he took that last train to heaven on rails of solid gold. Love Paul & Mike Berni Ensminger Hugo,, OK USA I can't explain the pain we felt when Box left this earth. We really loved him. We visited the Show in Branson many times. Our little grandson, loved Boxcar and we brought him every time we came to see Box. Once, he dressed in Overalls and one of Boxes railroad caps. After the show thatnight he could not wait to get over to the gift shop because, Mr. Box, would be there. Box was there and let Dalton ride in his train , and Dalton pretty much monopolized Boxcars time that night. There was a painting in the back, that looks like Dalton, The child in the painting is watching a train. Dalton said that he was that boy.He asked Box about things in the showcases, and Box would tell him. He showed Boxcar how he could do the train sound. Tom Shockley told Box that boy will be up here working on your stage. Box said." Bless your heart!" Dalton would have gone home with Box that night and stayed. I wish he could have known Box longer. Miss Box, Lolene, I know you remember Dalton sending Boxcar cards. You even sent Dalton a funeral card and the obituary. It was the most difficult thing I ever had to do was to tell Dalton that Boxcar was dying. His first words were "We have to pray for him, Grani Berni!" We did. Then, I had to tell him Box was gone and in Heaven. He cried like his heart was broken, but we all did.I know BoxCar road (Life's Railway to Heaven) and thru the gate. I know Heaven's bells and whistles were welcoming him home. Would like to know where everyone is now. Would like to hear from Miss Box or Larry. I heard there was a Funeral cortage to the depot from Boxcars music hall. If there were newspaer pictures I would like to know how to get them. There will never be another like Boxcar,or the group that worked with him. We have not been back to Branson but once since he passed away. But when we do come back we will put roses on Boxcars place of rest. God bless you all. George, Berni Ensminger, and Dalton Smith T & J london, uk J: I didn't believe he was real! I'm so glad he was. T: I knew he was real! I wish I could have a watch like his ole Daddy's - I'd put another notch in for my daughter.

Richard M. Day Bloomfield,, NY USA I saw Boxcar in Rochester, NY in 1994 & he had a very good show as I expected he would.

Thank you Mr Willie Keith Mullen Co Durham, UK A true Legend and sadly I never got to see him,as his illness came prior to his concert in Sunderland,though his music will live for ever.My late father was a rail fanatic and Willie's music brings back memories which are imossible to put in print. I was given a cassette of Willie's and played it for years but lost it when I was in a car crash.This site is a God send and a worthy tribute to a singer who repesents all that is great about America,and a fitting memorial to a gentleman,whose music touches the soul and whose absence makes the world a poorer place.

I FELT VERY HONORED TO RECIEVE BOX`S PHOTOGRAPH AND THOUGHTFULNESS BY YOU MY NEW RAILROAD FRIENDS ,GOD BLESS Y`ALL MHG MANNY BAKER CITY . Edward Tracy Carson, WA USA I first heard of Boxcar in 1979 in London, England when he first was introduced in the Wembly Country Festival. I was a drummer in an American band from the Dunoon Submarine Base in Holy Loch, Scotland. The name of the band was "Wildwood USA". We were there to represent Scotland and England at the International Talent Competition. Because we were in the competition, we were allowed backstage and I was priveledged to meet Moe Bandy, Joe Stampley, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, Bobby Bare, and the list goes on. I also got to meet the master of the train whistle, BOXCAR WILLIE. Our band got to talking with him and told him about the base in Holy Loch and asked if he might have time to come and entertain the troops. He said he would look at his schedule. Well, Boxcar found time to do that and came to the base and played in the Enlisted mans club. Our band hosted his performance. I'll never forget it because after we played on Sunday afternoon which was just set aside for Country Music, Wildwood went downtown Dunoon and either played at the Harmony Hotel (which doesn't exist anymore) or we would play at McColls Hotel. We played at McColls that night and Boxcar showed up! He asked to play with the band and of course we said YES!! We played a bunch of favorite songs and then Boxcar turned to me and said "Play a train beat" so I started and we went into a couple of his songs and then said over the mike, "ok, let's get this thing rollin'" so we speeded it up and he was very pleased. We had some very memorable moments. Well, that wasn't the only encounter I had. I was living in Ca in 1992 when Boxcar played Reno, NV. So, I thought I would call the hotel where he was staying to see if I could talk to him, you might think this is not true but it is, I called and talked to the receptionist and explained how I knew Boxcar and she patched me through right to his room. We talked for a while and he asked me if I was going to his show, but I couldn't cause I was working that weekend. We said our goodbyes and that was the last time I had contact with Boxcar. I sure hope you believe my story, if not please e-mail me. I am still in contact with all the Wildwood band members except Madfrog our bass player (e-mail me Madfrog), and they will be glad to tell you their experiences too! Thank you Boxcar for your Music and friendship. You are greatly missed. GOD BLESS you and your family. Dave Nutt Wales, AK UK I played steel guitar & dobro for boxie for 5 years,all his UK and European tours,did 14 tv shows,countless radio shows, four/five recordings,4 of his Wembly Festival shows and I miss the man so much.

THANKS AGAIN MHG Gabrielle Tyler, TX USA I really love the Box car program! Hi!!! Jack Thibodeau Chilliwack. B.C., I was shopping today and I was looking for a CD for my wife, then when leaving the store, I came across a double CD called "Boxcar Willie King of the Hoboes" and of course had to buy it. I've listen to his music for a lot of years and love his strong voice. As with many others I'm sure, when we go from one system to another, we don't always replace our selections (LP's)with the new ones (CD's). I had LP's which I don't use anymore but now I can listen to Boxcar Willie again. Last time I have seen him on television, might have been one of his last show, he was sick and you could tell he was suffering but he wanted to give his fans one last song. Lecil I hope you took your guitar with you in heaven, you're sure to get an audience and the chance to do many encores. We love you Boxcar Willie, you'll always be in our hearts.

Kristy Lagow Cleburne, TX USA I was raised on listening to Boxcar. I enjoyed listening to him when i was growing up and i still do enjoy him.. He has inspired me in so many different ways i have heard all kinds of country but he is one of the ones that i enjoy. It is sad that he had to leave this world, but i do know that he will always be in my heart. I just want to say thank you for all of the music that you have given me. david ford mooresville, NC USA MR.WILLIE was truely my favorite singer & A very special person to me.

Does anyone know the name of this song and how I can get it. Thank You. A loyal fan. Kelly J. B. Ashland, ME USA When I was about 7 my father brought me into this store and said he needed to by something. He purchased a cassette of Boxcar Willie's... my first tape :) It is still my favorite, and since then I have lots more. I missed the opportunity when in 1994, I think, in August or November, he performed at the Forum in Presque Isle. I Iremember seeing Willie perform on the stage during the movie Gordy... I was SO happy. It is sad that he lost to cancer... it was a tough battle to fight, and I am glad that he stuck it out for as long as he could. I have a website of my own now and I am putting up a section of it for Boxcar, so if anyone would like to donate a few pictures or info, I will give you full credit. I would also like to link to this site, if it is alright with the webmaster. http://salinger_saved_us.tripod.com/ is the site.

I wished I could have met him. He is the living legend of old-time country music. I think of Willie often when the train comes through our little town. Rest In Peace Jim Tippie Little River, SC USA In Nov 1983, I was invited to do the Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree and Boxcar Willie happened to be hosting the Jamboree as Ernest and Justin were on personal appearances in Ohio. I had a new record out entitled "Whatever's best For You" and it was playing in the Record Shop when Box entered from the Opry and he said "I love that song and want to record it". I told him it was mine and I'd be proud for him to record it. He gave me some good advice that night about the music industry. I too am retired USAF so we had some common interests and talked a bit of old times in service. I will always hold Boxcar Willie in high esteem and respect. I serve Jesus Christ in nursing homes and church with my music now as Jim Tippie, the Gospel Cowboy. I pray that God has given Boxcar Willie top-billing in Heaven. I'll see you soon, Box!

View from the Blues, Volume 32: Los Angeles on a Losing StreakJuly 4, 2012
This Fourth of July Weekend turned out to be a nightmare for Charlie Naimo's Los Angeles Blues, who were looking to build on their set of victories over the Dayton Dutch Lions at home.
"Since Charlotte played on Tuesday and has to travel back home, it presents us with a very good opportunity to grab the bull by the horns and try to take some initiative," Blues associate head coach Shayon Jalayer told LABluesProSoccer's Gunnar Berndt ahead of their match with the Charlotte Eagles.
"On the road, there's usually a tendency to sit back and defend a little more, but the unique circumstances could allow us to really go at them and take advantage of the tired legs that come from playing a game and then having to travel cross-country.
"Our mentality needs to be very aggressive, with lots of running and an attacking-oriented mindset."
Even with Bright Dike in the lineup, it wasn't going to be enough for this stretch of games. On June 28, the Blues fell to the Eagles, 3-2. Two first-half goals given up in a space of four minutes was too much for Los Angeles to overcome.
Dike scored in the 58th minute of play, while Irving Garcia added a second in the 88th minute.
Against the Wilmington Hammerheads on Jun. 30, it was the same old story as they fell 4-2. Once again, Dike was on the feast, scoring in the 25th minute. Bryan Burke also scored at the hour mark to pace the Blues. However, they were done in by two goals in the first five minutes of play.
As if things hadn't been bad enough for them, the Blues were forced to play down to 10 men when Maykel Galindo was sent off in the 64th minute of play.
"We can't complain about things not going our way," Naimo told Berndt. "It happens in soccer. We now have to focus on yet another tough road game that is an absolute must-win for us if we're hoping to stay in the hunt for one of the top spots in the standings. Our upcoming home games against Orlando definitely won't be easy, either, which makes it all the more crucial for us to get a result in Richmond.
"The good news is that the guys are all very responsible about the two losses and understand that we need to get back to defending well, which is something we had started to do. Oftentimes it's about the little mistakes, so everyone has to make sure they're focused and stay disciplined at all times. That's what we're going to focus on in training today. If we can transfer it into the game against Richmond, I really think we will be all right."
Unfortunately, the Blues ran out of gas against the Kickers. A punch-less performance led to a 1-0 defeat on the road at City Stadium. Ryan Heins scored in the 66th minute for Richmond.
The schedule isn't going to get any easier for the Blues, who now have to deal with two home matches with the Lions of Orlando City at Titan Stadium on the campus of California State University, Fullerton in Fullerton, California.
Kickoff for the Jul. 6 match is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. PT/10:30 p.m. ET while the Jul. 8 match is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.

Ok, so I am not supposed to post...sue me.
I for juan, welcome posts by TT.
^One is right.
Way to hold up to your end of the bet, TT.
So BigTT is not a man of his word. Despite disagreements, I always gave you the benefit of the doubt on that.
Consider me disappointed.
I will make an exception for ANY new BANG!
But now Im aware of a new BANG!
I consider it merly a public service announcement
Dude, that's like my thing.

I am in a pickle. I have the above mentioned GT and a few problems. 1. Fly wheel went along with the starter this spring, replaced them both with new ones. It is not starting as it should. the sears guy came and after 100 bucks, said that in order to start it i would need to pull out both spark plugs and manually turn the fly wheel until the compression was released. Then i have to put the plugs back into when it turns over and try to start it. if it doesn't work, i do it again. He told me that i may have a flat spot or something inside the motor and the only way to fix it was put a new motor in it. The price he was telling me was almost the price of another newer mower. 2. After doing all the above, it does run etc., but every once in a while it loses power while mowing. I have to turn off the mower deck and wait for it. It is almost like it isn't getting enough gas, not sure.The Sears man also told me that with the newer gas nowdays, i need to be changing my oil 2 times a year. Is that correct. I do mow a lot, about 7 acres somewhat hilly and pull a 42 inch pull behind mower as i am mowing. I have no idea as to what to do about this. Could you please help me??? Thanks, kpost

There is something else wrong and this "technician" misdiagnosed.
Best guess? Your flywheel key is partially sheared or the flywheel is the wrong one.
The new gas does suck, but you can get recreational gas with no ethanol. The oil should be changed on the number of run time hours, not an arbitrary number.

the sears guy is blowing smoke up your rear--he should go back to working in the the shoe department .
I agree with MH81 on all counts. I would also maybe look into cleaning the carb.

Welcome to GTT. As you can tell we work together. I agree that the flywheel may be wrong but it is more likely that the flywheel key is damaged or in wrong. This will throw the timing off which will make it start hard and run poorly. Sounds like Sears just wants to sell you a new mower. Look in our Manuals Section(3 free downloads per day) for the engine manual and read the troubleshooting chart to see what it says. When you get the flywheel off, post some clear pics for us to help.
I think that 7 acres is asking too much of a Craftsman and a 42" deck is way too small. Good Luck, Rick

If the Fly wheel isn't the problem like MH81 said I would check the valve adjustment.
- boyscout862 and toppop52 have said thanks
Posted July 19, 2015 - 07:18 AM
The ONLY thing that could translate to and not be "smoke" is the compression release (if it has one)... That would be deep in the engine and not something most people (elsewhere) would fix themselves.
Is this a Briggs or Kohler engine?

I agree with the others, the "Technician" doest know what he's talking about, first time I heard of a "Flat spot" in an engine! LOL
What is the brand and model of this engine?
- boyscout862 said thank you
Posted July 19, 2015 - 11:08 AM
If the Fly wheel isn't the problem like MH81 said I would check the valve adjustment.
Most likely the problem, the valves are too loose and the compression release lobe isn't opening the valve.
- MH81 said thank you

Most likely the problem, the valves are too loose and the compression release lobe isn't opening the valve.
if its a better kohler, it probably has hydraulic lifters.
Posted July 19, 2015 - 04:20 PM
Can't believe we are this far and no pics! Never seen a Sears 6500 before!
Posted July 19, 2015 - 04:45 PM
According to Kohler, the only engines with hydraulic lifters are the Command Pro horizontals and select models of the Aegis, mostly the horizon version of the Aegis, the 6500 has the Elite series.

Hi! Are we going too fast for you? Are we assuming you have mechanical skills? Let us know how you are with tools and we can walk you through this.
You have to understand that most lawn techs charge so much that they would have to charge you more to do advanced repairs than most people would want to pay, thus; "May we show you something nice in red metal flake?"
Hey, my everyday mower has some flatness on the piston. Should I be worried?
Posted July 19, 2015 - 05:41 PM
Ok, let me start from the start. I pulled the mower in the garage to change the oil before i started to mow with it this year. That was in late May. After changing the oil, i tried to start it, but it wouldn't turn over. I went and purchased a new battery and it (the mower) tried to start when the starter and fly wheel started to make a grinding noise, Not Good. I took the starter off and it was in pieces(the part that goes into the flywheel when activated). I had to buy a new starter, which i did. When i put it on, it made some grounding noise again and i looked up under the shrowed and saw that the fly wheel was missing a lot of teeth. I then had to order another flywheel(another story) and finally got the correct one. I put it all back together and started having problems trying to get it to start. The starter engages, then won't turn the flywheel(according to the Sears guy because of the compression issue) I am now at the point that i was talking about where when i get it going, it slows down when the mower is engaged.
The tractor itself has a 65 inch cut, and i have a pull behind mower that i attach to the back to give me more of a cutting swathe. Is this too much weight for this garden tractor. The Garden tractor itself has a Kohler 26 hp motor. Its number is PS-SV735-0016. I will try to send some pictures when i can. I do hope that this clears things up for everyone. Thanks again, kpost

But it seems we are still taking the> mmap_sem lock in do_move_pages function, is this really required? If it> is so why it is not needed in hot remove path? > Hmm , CC: to Christoph and Brice.My understanding is following. 1. do_move_page_to_node_array() at el. needs mmap_sem (read-side) because it scans page table and vma. While we have to scan vmas to find pages for migration, it needs mmap_sem. So, this part, == do_move_page_to_node_array() 903 err = 0; 904 if (!list_empty(&pagelist)) 905 err = migrate_pages(&pagelist, new_page_node, 906 (unsigned long)pm); 907 908 up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); == can be == 903 err = 0; 904 up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); 905 if (!list_empty(&pagelist)) 906 err = migrate_pages(&pagelist, new_page_node, 907 (unsigned long)pm); 908 == ? But, by above move of semaphore, reliability of sys_migrate_page() goes down. Assume 2 threads. Thread1 calls sys_move_pages(), thread2 does page fault, touches pte under migraton. == Thread 1 Thread2 up_read(&mm->mmap_sem) page fault => map new page. end of migration. == What a user expects is move all pages within [start, end) moves to nodes specified. And, if the page doesn't exist, "err = -ENOENT" is set to status buffer. But, in above case, the page exists but not in place the user expected. So, there are trade offs. Pros. up_read(&mmap_sem) before migration will reduce period of lock. Cons. sys_migrate_pages() at el. are not atomic anymore and return code is not reliable. 2. memory hotplug's migrate_page() finds the page by physical memory's memmap. NO scans to any mm_struct or vmas. So, not necessary to take mmap_sem. (The logic is same as to vmscan.c's logic) It also moves pages which is not mapped.Thanks,-Kame

By LL Editorial StaffHaving to select the Caribbeans best beaches is like choosing a favorite offspring. You adore each and every one unconditionally. The same applies to the sandy shorelines of Anguilla, Aruba, Grenada, and many more Caribbean destinations where you discover that no two beaches are alike, which makes them all the more loveable.
In Grenada, next to the lovely and luxe Maca Bana resort, is Magazine Beach where there is little disturbance but still plenty of action. Do as little or as much as you like, from sun worshipping to kayaking with most Sunday afternoons reserved for a bona fide beach barbecue hosted by a local eatery.
Jamaica has two fabulous beaches worthy of a visit. Doctors Cave Beach, which enjoys a sheltered location in Montego Bay not far from Round Hill Hotel and Villas, is known for its azure waters and platinum sands as well as its calm surf. Near the Blue Lagoon Villas, a wondrous retreat with a collection of accommodations that sit literally on the water along the islands north coast, is San San Beach. This narrow, but long strip of sand is protected by a coral reef that is ideal for swimming or scuba diving.
Grace Bay in the celebrity favorite Turks and Caicos is home to the new all-suite Regent Grand resort situated on the 12-mile, rock-free Grace Bay Beach. While some may argue that this little paradise is among the islands more popular places to play, its natural setting and generous length make it a snap to find a secluded spot.
The Dominican Republic has its share of shoreline, too, but its Playa Punta Cana that seems to garner the most attention. This pristine beach is blanketed with soft sand and punctuated with plenty of trees. Nearby is Tortuga Bay, a luxury compound with a beachfront grill for grazing.

MAN WHO HELPED IN OCCUPY OAKLAND KILLING SENTENCED: OAKLAND (AP) — An Oakland man has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for helping kill a man at an Occupy Oakland camp and sexually assaulting a woman at gunpoint days later.
The Oakland Tribune says Isaac McDaniels was sentenced Thursday under a deal that saw him plead guilty to being an accessory to a felony and the sexual assault.
McDaniels acknowledged that he helped beat 25-year-old Kayode Foster and gave his gun to the man charged with killing him during a 2011 confrontation at an Occupy Oakland tent city. Norris Terrell has been charged with murder.
Five days after the shooting, McDaniels pulled a gun on a woman as she walked home alone from work and forced her to commit a sexual act.
SAN JOSE HOMICIDE IS THE SECOND IN AS MANY DAYS: SAN JOSE (AP) — San Jose police are investigating a fatal stabbing that is the city's third homicide of the year and the second in two days.
Sgt. Jason Dwyer said Thursday that a group of young men walked up to a man in his late 30s or 40s and began stabbing him several times in the torso in the city's Kenwood neighborhood shortly after 8:30 p.m.
The victim was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Dwyer said police do not yet have a motive as it's still unknown whether the victims knew his attackers or if the incident was random.
It was San Jose's second homicide in two days. On Wednesday, 43-year-old Anna Duong, a mother of two, was shot and killed in her condominium.
LOCK-DOWN ALERTS LIFTED FROM 3 BAY AREA SCHOOLS: SUNNYVALE, (AP) — Three San Francisco Bay area schools are being taken out of lock-down mode because police now think a student who reported seeing an armed man was lying.
The city of Sunnyvale said Friday that authorities had stopped searching for a possible suspect after two hours because new information suggested the information that prompted the search had been fabricated.
Three Sunnyvale schools — West Valley Elementary School, Cupertino Middle School and Homestead High School were put on lockdown following the student's report of spotting a man with a revolver near the middle school.
Students were required to stay inside the elementary and high school as a precaution.
Schools around the nation have been taking extra precautions to safeguard students since 20 elementary schoolers were shot to death in Newtown, Conn. last month.
TEEN SENTENCED FOR MURDERING ADOPTIVE PARENTS: OAKLAND (AP) — A judge has sentenced an Oakland teen convicted of killing his adoptive parents to 25 years to life in prison after the 16-year-old pleaded guilty to both slayings.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Moses Kamin on Friday told victims' family members in court that he did not want their forgiveness, and that he hoped they could forget him.
Kamin pleaded guilty in December to the first-degree murder of 55-year-old Robert Kamin, and the second-degree murder of 50-year-old Susan Poff. He was charged as an adult.
Police said Kamin told them he strangled the couple after an argument over a suspension from school for using marijuana.
Kamin's defense attorney argued his client had a psychological disorder due to childhood trauma he suffered while living with his birth mother.
