Country Music Superstar
by Dave Pratt
Having spent part of your childhood in Willcox, what was your favorite place to explore?
The Chiricahua Mountains.
If you were trying to convince Willie Nelson that Arizona is one of the most beautiful places in the country, where would you take him?
I’d take him on a pack trip to look for Cochise’s burial site. We’d go horseback riding and have fun looking through the most fabulous and rugged areas of Southern Arizona. Maybe we’d end our week by hitting the whitewater rapids at Lava Falls. Willie is hard to shake, but that might stir him!
Is there an Arizona flavor or food that you miss most?
Yeah, sure. We used to get chiles by the toe sack when they were in season.
Where in Arizona might an “outlaw” artist like yourself go to get inspired?
The Grand Canyon.
Say you were stranded in the desert. Who’d be the better survival guide: Burt Reynolds or Hank Williams Jr.?
Hank Williams Jr. He’s an avid hunter, so we wouldn’t go hungry, and God knows, “A country boy can survive!”
