Description
Book SynopsisAn intimate collection of fond memories, personal letters, good songs, and bad jokes from a true American legend.
This is your old friend, Willie, sending a note to see how you''re doing and to say I''m doing fine.
In this series of short letters straight from the heart, Willie sends his thanks and his thoughts to everyone from his family, his fellow musicians, his heroes, and his guitar Trigger.
