My dad was a big fan of Radney Foster, and Webb as well (whom I took him to meet & see play in Green Bay a couple of years ago). I wish he was still alive to hear this story, he would huge kick out of that!

Wow that is cool -- I can remember hearing that song back in the day and loving it ... I would say after I got hooked on Webb - if I heard it I probably thought - "sounds like WW".... never would have known the connection... til now .... Thanks for finding that Gary. Also, back in the 90's when I first heard "Fast as You" by Dwight Yoakem - my first thought to that song was "sounds like WW" ... I wonder if Webb's music was an influence on that songwriter? I have no idea who wrote it - might have been Dwight? Have to look it up I guess... wonder if there is a story there too???? E

I have no idea about any of that. I appreciate the plug from Bill and Radney. Perhaps, I am "drinkin' my own bath water" but, I always wondered if "Slingblade" might have been somehow influenced by the following films: "Being There," Tomorrow" (Robert Duval) and "Webb Wilder, Pvt. Eye: The Saucer's Reign." "Pvt. Eye" got a lot of play on national cable TV back in the day on the USA Network's Nightflight (sp.?) program. In either case, I (like so many of you) love the "Slingblade" film. Okay, I'll shut up now. WW
