I was reading Twitter today and noticed “RIP Poodie” coming up from some of the people I follow. Then I went to the authority of all things Willie Nelson, stillis stillmoving.com, and discovered what I had feared- Willie’s longtime stage manager and friend Poodie Locke died today at his home in Texas. RIP Poodie…

I wrote this song in memory of Poodie:
That Very Sad Sixth Day Of May (At Poodie’s Hilltop Roadhouse)
I’d hitchhiked to Poodie’s to play
For a fun Wednesday night open mic
At Poodie’s Hilltop Roadhouse on the sixth day of May
Was where I’d heard the news that he’d died
That was such a very sad time
With the look in Brooks’ eyes which were glazed
I think that he’d wanted to cry
A quiet moment of remembrance we paid
CHORUS:
On that very sad sixth day of May
A quiet moment of remembrance we paid
At the place where there’s no bad days
On that very sad sixth day of May
Bridge:
At the place where there’s no bad days
Nobody knew exactly what to say
Me, I just hitchhiked away
On that very sad sixth day of May
CHORUS
