On The Corner

Waylon Jennings
By Binky Philips

The Fall of 1974. I am meeting friends at the Bottom Line for a Waylon Jennings show. Yes, for a New York City boy, I was Country before Country was cool. Blame Buck Owen's lead guitarist, Don Rich on the first season of Hee Haw. I had simply never seen or heard guitar playing like that in my life and he was using a Telecaster, just like the ones my parents had bought me for Christmas, 1966. I also lost my mind for Tammy Wynette that year.
