I worked in country music for 30 years as a sound engineer on a live radio show in wheeling WV. 2 longest live radio show broadcast in history. Second only to the Grand Ole Opry. I also worked with a regional sound company. I worked and seen this guys show so many times and it didn't matter how many times you had seen it. You still couldn't help but laugh. RIP box

It saddens me to see the comments that don't get Boxcar Willie. I'm a rock guy but I grew up with this stuff. The Grand Ol Opry and Hee-haw forever!

I had the good fortune of seeing Boxcar Willie in concert probably over 30 times. I appreciate him even more now then I did then. Now that Country Music died about 25 years ago. Thank God for these videos

Great to see that room full of WWII veterans and the people of the greatest generation! My buddy Al played for Boxcar for 7 years in the late 70's and early 80's. He said Willy was as great a person off the stage, as he was on it.

I am a country fan and I like the older country singers from the 60s and 70s the most... but BoxCAR Willie is super funny. does great imitations and can sing. really a class act. he passed away in 1999. He was really great.

When Boxcar Willie was in his 60's he became a superstar in...Ireland! He was everywhere TV concerts, festivals the lot!..Then he went and died and we sure missed him!

Pure talent and what a gentleman he was. RIP Boxcar

Okay to all the "haters", Boxcar wasn't an impersonator, he was an entertainer. That's what he did to make people laugh and smile, act goofy. I didn't know Boxcar personally, but I knew him from living in the area for many years on Table Rock Lake. Guys like him are 1 in a million. He was also a dedicated American Patriot having served as a flight engineer. In his old museum there was a cockpit of a B-29 like he served on. It was sad to see his museum close and his things sold at auction just as was the old Roy Rogers museum here.

Boxcar Willie was a great entertainer. Had the luck to see him live many years ago - a memorable fun evening.

hes better than most singers and what not today. hilarious and cool dude. may God rest his soul.

[MrZootalores]

Seen Box Car at the Hollow Inn one night, the friends I was with was having a really good time. So good the crowd got to watching them, then Box Car went off and said " Damn it sit down this is my show"

Boxcar's humor in this video reminds me a bit of my great-grandpa's humor. My great-grandpa always says things backwards like he'd call Amarillo Armadillo and things like that. I've heard him do it so much that I've started doing it too. I bet I would have had a blast with Boxcar Willie if I had gotten the chance to meet him. Thankfully, my great-grandpa kinda looks like him and has a similar humor to him. I'm sure going to miss my great-grandpa when he passes away, but I pray that won't happen for long time

[jazzfusionary]

I didn't know he was that good. No entertainment like that anymore. Just great fun, great talent, and funny as it gets. Love Boxcar Willie!

[chocolatefeet]

Saw him in Branson. Of all the different stars who had shows, Boxcar Willie was the only one I would not leave without seeing. I loved this man and his singing. He truly was an entertainer and yet an humble man. We got to meet him after his show and I asked if I could hug his neck. He just opened his arms and let me give him a big hug. I will never forget that moment.

[sandyjones]

This was when old people could go out an have good fun .

[robbib]

proper entertainer ! wish i'd had a chance to see him live.

[carlaaustin]

I really enjoyed this. I haven't heard Boxcar Willie in years. Love his humor.

[contumacious]

He used to walk among the audience shaking hands while singing, a true showman.
