The first time was when W...I only met Poodie twice. The first time was when Willie toured down here in Australia in 1998 I think it was. <br /><br />I had struck up an Internet friendship with Bobby Lemmons in the months leading up to Willie coming out here.<br /><br />On the day Willie was to play in Melbourne, I fronted up to the place were the gig was to be held hours before it was to start in the hope of catching up with Bobby.<br /><br />Well Bobby wasn't around, so I waltzed up to Poodie and said "G'day mate, do you know where Bobby is?"<br /><br />Poodie said "who are you?". I told him who I was and what I was up to and he said he'd go find him for me.<br /><br />Well Poodie came back and we chatted for a short while, he gave me one of his Hilltop Bar & Grille business cards which he had written on the back "If this guy ever turns up, give him a free beer"<br /><br />Well 6 months later I did turn up. Poodie was working the bar at the time. I called him over, showed him the business card and he let out a great big laugh. And yes, I got the free beer.<br /><br />Although I barely knew him, from that very time I spoke with him, I could tell he was a good bloke, friendly, happy and approachable.<br /><br />Sadly, another legend gone. Rest in peace my favourite Texan barkeep.Matt Westernnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359358707716642068.post-31204424407343394232009-05-09T16:03:00.000-05:002009-05-09T16:03:00.000-05:00I'm so sad about this. I knew Poodie and Schroder...I'm so sad about this. I knew Poodie and Schroder in Austin when I worked at Moon Hill Management in the 70s.

Here's a toast to Poodie, it's been an honor and a great privilege knowing you.<br /><br />Clem Brown, Mineola, TXTexasClemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00936246756708081721noreply@blogger.com
