Amen to that. Don't listen to modern country. Grew up with Roy Acuff, the Wheeling Jamboree, Hank Williams, Grandpa Jones, Minnie Pearl and her straw bonnets, Louisville, and WSM radio Grand Ole OPRY @ the Roman. Such wonderful stories in each song. 🎉
Boxcar Willie was a natural born entertainer his down home hobo style of music is always a pleasure to hear an I loved that famous train whistle he would do ! Boxcar may you be singing in heaven and making that whistle sound for our Lord ! Boxcar may you R.I.P
I was fortunate to see Boxcar Willie in Branson,Mo back in 1996. He was awesome & so down to earth. Visited with all of us after the show in his train museum. My 2 yo loved him. And yes that natural train whistle that comes out of his mouth is amazing!
country was awesome in there days,i miss story music now its like country is trying to pay country rock lol,my favorite by him is move it over,first song i remember at 5 yrs old,lol
I got to meet Boxcar Willie in Newport South Wales United Kingdom back in 1991. What a brilliant evening we had. He was such a nice man to talk to. I had a photo taken with him and he signed his autograph on a cassette box for me.
Comment if you ever had the pleasure and honor of seeing Boxcar perform live... I got to see Boxcar perform over a hundred of times...... Lord I miss those days.....

i got to meet boxcar willie when i was a kidbut when i wanted his autograph he refused to sign mine card but signed cards to 50 other people so at that point of time i hate him and never forget that time he hurt my feelings.
No-one and I mean no-one could make a train whistle sound like Boxcar. He sounded so much like a train that I would get out of the way because I thought for sure that one was a coming...I heard Boxcar in person maybe over a hundred times
I was a huge fan of Boxcar, and was actually called to do my train whistle during the fan segment of Nashville Now with Ralph Emory. It was 92 if I can recall. Me 5 minutes of fame!!

Wish there was songs on the radio like this today! A lot of music on country radio today is nothing but pure crap!

He's a 🐍
Look up what David Icke said about him
Yes I did , it was late '70s early '80s in between that time. It was at Action Park in Vernon, NJ.
On the twin sssssstraaavarious,The train whistle and does the best “Clippity clop” on “mule train” only one Willie.
I loved Boxcar Willy!!
Country music these days is not real country music!!! I grew up in the 1960's and 1970's the music was a lot better!!
Love forever
Wish I could have gotten there to branson missouri To see him.

Whistleyuworkwilly
I love to hear the train whistle he does it makes me feel like I was back in West Virginia and Cass seenic railroad
I was a huge fan of Boxcar, and was actually called to do my train whistle during the fan segment of Nashville Now with Ralph Emory. It was 92 if I can recall. Me 5 minutes of fame!!
Allway love to see my dan
Love watch my dad seat on the patch
Super
Great loss
He is awesome singer love to see him in real life
Love me some Boxcar. I know he gives Roy Acuff a lot of credit but I think he got the train sound from Onie Wheeler Roy’s harmonica player.
He was a great entertaining
Box Car was a great person
Everyone watching this alone is trying to imitate that whistle sound
Brilliant
Every time I see Boxcar Willie, I think of Sheldon dressed as a train engineer on BB Theory
He is awesome bless him
What a legend.👍🤠 I' the son of a retired Reaing Rail Road engineer. 🛤🚂🚃
My daddy could do the train whistle. He did it just as well as boxcar willy.
Only Found he is good from Scotland
How does Old Boxcar Willie make that sound ?
Wish i knew also
Probably someway similar to blowing smoke rings
😄👍🎼
My best
