How could I have missed it!!!!
December 10, 1951--- Juan Raoul Davis Rodriguez is born in Sabinal, TX
Juan "Johnny" Rodriguez was arrested in 1969 along with some buddies for stealing and barbecuing a goat. While in jail, he was noticed singing in the cell and was referred to "Happy" Shahan, who owned the nearby Alamo Village in Brackettville. Happy eventually introduced Johnny to Tom T. Hall, who gave Johnny a job in his band. In 1972, Johnny branched out on his own and the rest is history.
Happy 57th Birthday, Johnny Rodriguez! Thanks for many years of great music and hope your liver holds out for many more!!!!:)
