Thank you Otis. My name is Aaron Rodgers.
I’ve had the honor of producing two records for Billy Don, Nights When I’m Sober and Graveyard In Montgomery.
I’ve also spent many nights playing guitar for him on the road, as recently as a week ago. Billy is a national treasure, and should be recognized as such. His memories and stories are priceless, as they give us a unique glimpse into the real day to day life of the folks who made country music. His is a perspective you won’t find anywhere else or from anyone else because he was there, man. He was there.
I know you probably don't remember me but I met you over at my friend Sam's house 4 months ago. I played a few songs before you got up on stage. I wish I would've played a few covers instead of some of my dad's songs since they were really personal. I still had fun playing in front of people though. It was nice to meet you there too. Take care
Graveyard in Montgomery is 💯% 🔥🔥🔥As well As nights when
Love BDB stories and listening to his great songs. Now that's Country!!!
A treasure this man. The world would be a much better place if everyone got a chance to truly feel what it’s like to go hungry a time or two…
Damned right!
That is as true a statement as ever made. I do hope you are not hungry today.
@@Attercop47 Yup! Ever rolled a doobie with toilet paper???
Know what its like to go hungry/ be homeless, and know what it feels like to properly get your ass whooped, that would prevent soooooo much boneheaded ignorant behavior imao.
Great Nashville History
Thanks BDB& Otis

I was lucky enough to get to meet Billy Don Burns and shake his hand over at my friend Sam's house 4 months ago. Hell of a nice guy. My only regret is not getting to talk to him longer.
I have always been a fan of Billy Don Burns , I remember when he played Hank Williams at Opry Land . Thank you for this upload and thank you Mr Burns for your contribution to country music .
The greatest story teller today in old Nashville
I'm really grateful to be listening to some Harlan Howard stories on this channel. What a Giant.
The stories BDB can tell is simply amazing and should be published into a book. I’ve been fortunate enough to spend some time with Billy Don and one of the times we split a flask of Jack Daniels whiskey in 95 degree heat in June, in all places Kansas, it just about put us on the ground or at least myself. He told me several stories, one being about Waylon. The world stands still when you are in his presence and he makes everyone feel like they are important to him. What a great man and a legend in this songwriters eyes.
I've got to listen to this man's music more. What a life!
These interviews are such a joy to listen to. I'm loving these old stories. Be well Otis 👍
Thank you Otis and Billy Don...love the old stories ..I've been to Nashville several times in my life and to hear about older places no longer there warms my heart, stay safe and much love to y'all
Thank you, David!
I just love your buddies. All I could think of was the lyrics to To Beat The Devil.
Between Bobby Barry & Tom T. Hall at a guitar pull.........smfh..... 😳......wow!!! I love the stories. Marty çollects instrument's, pics & clothes, you collect memories, tales & the oral interpretation's from other's as well as your songs. I APPRECIATE YOU & WHAT YOU DO & l thank the GOOD LORD cause, l know at times it AIN'T EASY.
Spell checker misspelled Bobby BARE!!!
We need a part 2. I’m a new fan, Billy Don is awesome,
I’m proud to call Billy Don a friend. He’s such a good person.
Linebaugh's. No one today would know how important this restaurant was to country music back then.
Just saw and met BDB tonight in South Padre, TX @ the Coral Reef. His songs and stories were incredible! He actually came up and talked to me unprovoked, said to me, "Not too bad for an old guy."
Oh, and he drinks Early Times and water lol
Cool that he mentioned Jimmy Day, who played (when I met him) with the Clay Blaker band. After our band played and we hung with him, someone said he played with Willie,and that's all I knew about him until many years later when I was told about his incredible career. Another old timer I played with several times was Pappy Self, didnt know much about his history when I was playing Blue Spanish Eyes and other sings with him at various gigs
Thank you for sharing! There are many like yourself with a rich history and many who that enjoy hearing or reading about it. :)
Come on now... all those oldies and goodies went hungry on the way to the top... Love BDB stories.
Oh man Otis, thank you million times over for sharing the tales of Mr. Billy Don! I smile grandly throughout each one.
Another man in this world of music that i never heard of,now I'm richer for this channel and learning of this man's life.thank you again
Much love Otis...
Really dig Billy Don’s stories. I could listen to you two all day. And maybe pick up the guitar. You know, kitchen table. Coffee and legal pads and pencils.
This is great! Billy Don is the real deal man. Love these stories, great way to start the day. Thank you both
Thanks Otis great show! Say thanks to Billy for me
Thank you, Randy!
Love learning about artists new to me and I'm almost 50! Blaze Foley,Billy Joe Shaver ,are a few guys that I wonder how did I get by in life without knowing about them!
I spent the summer of 1973 in Nashville. I was there with my friend, John Parker, who was a guitar player and aspiring song-writer. While he would go up and down music row trying to get the attention of producers, I was working at the Cincinnati Sheet Metal and Roofing Co., loading and unloading trucks. I left Nashville that summer and moved back down to Birmingham, Al. Saw John one more time in Dec. '73 when I thumbed up to Nashville.....Lost touch with him after that, but I've always wondered what became of him. He had a lot of talent, I think.
Another good video. He dropped a lot of names- some of which I haven’t heard mentioned in years. He could probably right a book about all his experiences.
more of this! i could listen to bdb for hours
Wow! Just wow! I only recently discovered this man & it was due to your previous podcast on Billy Don Burns. He’s all over TH-cam and I just love his songs & his singing & story telling. I hope you do more with Billy Don, Otis. This guy is so special. Thanks -as always- Otis. Man this was a great one!
One legend interviewing another. Great stuff Otis!
Goddamn I didnt expect how I needed this guys music in my life. Helluva story teller.
Otis always has a good story to tell. You feel like you were there. Thanks Otis.
Thanks Ottis
Thank you both for the history of the music we enjoy. The video production and lighting is among the best found on youtube; great job Otis. :)
Had a really interesting experience with Mr. BDB at Buck’s in Venice, Ne. Everyone should know about this man. Can’t wait to see him again.
Another songwriter in Nashville was having success as a Staff writer for Tree Publishing Company in 1970's. Mack Vickery had several songs that did very well including
"The Jamestown Ferry" by Tanya Tucker and Jerry Lee Lewis recorded several of Mack's songs. Mack and Wayne Kemp were also cranking out hits as a songwriting duo and as individuals.
The 1970's was a great time for songwriters in Nashville.
Listened to his records-wow! Many of our lives have been shattered by drugs & alcohol (including mine). Incredible writer. Awesome recordings. Thank you Otis
MUAH, kisses to this peach of a man, love him!! Some awesome songs came from the gentleman! Thanks Otis!! Yes the Willie story is in the book, just read it!
Wow...Otis you are a treasure trove of knowledge on early Nashville and you have the friends to prove it! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Otis and your videos are so enjoyable so thank you thank you thank you always and this one was particularly interesting as it was related to so many interesting and important people in country music please congratulate your friend and music composer for his great information about All these Fathers of Country Music!
Thank you once more for a great video!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks Otis keep up the great work!
I grew up hearing a lot of the folks Don mentioned giving interviews between sets during the Grand Ol' Opry on 650 WSM. I remember a second Opry style show, I could only hear late night on maybe 860 am. That was almost forty years ago, so a little hard to remember.
How true for people of a certain age who became more aware of good music via late night am radio.
What a fantastic interview. Thank you.

Awesome the real deal still playing small shows doesn't need a big crown although he deserves it!!! Everyone should check out his album a night in room 8 recorded by shooter Jennings and recorded in the room at Joshua tree where gram parsons died its amazing
Awesome
Billy Don tells the truth as it is

Great stories! 👋😎👍🎶🎶
Thank you,Otis. You’re really good at this,man. Ask a few questions and turn em loose. I discovered BDB about 10 years ago, he’s a writer’s writer
Great stories!
Enjoy the Billy Don Burns segments. Love his song "Where Does The Cowboy Go."
It’s amazing he was able to keep the black Gibson all these years, I wonder if it ever found it’s way to a pawnshop.
BDB told me his Gibson has been in a pawn shop one time. It’s also been stolen more than once, but has always found its way home.
@@soosunt Thank You for the reply.
Pull the car in the garage 🤣.....thanks otis
Great video! Thank you so much Billy and Otis.

So..... What exactly is a "guitar pull"???
Not in my own words, but here is something:
What is a guitar pull?
According to Villanova, a guitar-pull is a southern tradition where a small group of musicians sit around and take turns playing songs on a guitar. The “pull” part comes from the assumption that there was only one guitar among the group, so one may have to “pull” it away from another in order to get a turn.
I had not heard that term either till BDB used it the other day.
