Billy Joe, you’re too kind! I’m grateful for the time you’ve taken with me over the past couple of years. Great to see you at the Folklife Festival, too — where apparently some people mistook you for the late Conway Twitty!

This could be the Billy Joe Burnette who humored me by letting my 13 & 11 year old cousins, THE HARMONY BROTHERS, make a 45 RPM recording with the Tony Booth Band in Hollywood, CA circa 1970? Special young man then whom we never forgot. I always planned to look him up some day, but life pushes us along. Happy to find him apparently healthy and having fun with music.
