Phil

[Phil C]

Yes

[pirate44]

is he being booked into the county jail, or is he in town strictly for the gig?

[pirate44]

[raider red 2000]

Hee-Haw was a long time running Country Music tv series that had lots of country humor and country music singing. It was hosted by Roy Clark and Buck Owens. It had many big country music guest stars besides besides Johnny Rodriguez which include Johnny Cash, Tammy Wynet, George Jones, Hank Williams Jr., Loretta Lynn, Charlie Pride and Merl Haggard to name a few. Even Ray Charles enjoyed the show and appeared on it. A great series indeed.

It is... Johnny Rodriguez was the original singer. He's from Corpus.

[sinton66]

Johnny Rodriquez was from Sabinal, Texas. The only famous people I know of actually from Corpus are Lou Diamond Phillips, Selena, and Farrah Fawcett.

...and don't forget HOFer Ray Berry of the Colts... but Rodriguez lived in Corpus for a stretch of time. Him and Corpus native Freddy Fender are old buddies.

Robert Earl Keen wrote the song," Corpus Christi Bay". Both have recorded it.

My bad... I thought he wrote it.

The only thing is that there may be a volleyball playoff with the Lady Pirates that night and if there is I must go to the volleyball game.

Sorry, would have to strongly disagree with you on your labeling him a "Big Country Music Star". The only "Big" in his life has been Big, Bad, choices.....he COULD have been a Big Country Music Star.

[Ranger354]

Yea he stole a goat.

I remember going to one of his concerts at the Beeville Collisium. We met some girls and were taking them to breakfast when one of my buddies got thrown in jail for public intoxication. What a night of fun. Ended up getting him out about 3 that morning after a phone call to Bob Horne (sheriff).

That was the good old days..........................

If it wasn't opening weekend of deer season I would be there!


Phil,
You eat'n at the lumberyard since the management changed? Any better?


66,
The man that played Selena's dad in the movie is from CC also I think. He was also in Stand and Deliver. Can't remember his name.

[Bandera YaYa]

Heck, stealing the goat proved to be a good thing!! LOL!! NO, I'm talking about his alcohol and drug problems that eventually did him in, at the peak of his "stardom". Then there was that other BIG brush with the law...when he went on trial for murder. Yes, he was found not guilty by reason of self defense. I hope he has learned something from his mistakes.

Edward James Olmos, I don't think was from CC.

I liked him when he played the Crockett and Tubb's captain on the 80's hit tv show..Miami Vice.:)

[Bandera YaYa]

Stank and Deliver is one of my all time fav's!!! He is great in that movie!!!

[big daddy russ]

I just looked it up... he's from LA.
