Bob Wills from Turkey, Texas

Do you know Bob Wills? Are you older than 50? Then you might have heard of Bob Wills. 

A country music superstar in the 40s, 50, 60, 70s, Wills toured in a bus with his band the Texas Playboys, He lived in California and Texas. I rode through Turkey, TX two weeks ago and got these pictures. They have a Bob Wills Day every year. 

The Bob wills web site for the annual festival has a lot of neat content. Watch the video to see huge crowds in this tiny town (maybe 20 years ago?).
