Thanks for posting Tony. I thought some thing might be different when I was at Willie's drummer's house last week. Jimmy said that he was waiting to go back on tour with Willie but he hadn't called in a few days. R.I.P. Willie "Big Eyes" Smith.

Another true Pioneer of our beloved Music, has left the building Never to Return. I'm sure he is now in a much larger and more beautiful Venue, and will continue with his work.
R. I. P. (MR. SMITH).
