Jerry Jeff Walker

In The Moment … October 30, 2020 Show 932 Hour 1

Next, we remember Texas country music singer and songwriter Jerry Jeff Walker - best known for his hit song, "Mr. Bojangles," he died last Friday after a battle with throat cancer. He was 78. 
 
Walker moved to Austin, Texas in 1971 -- and had an immense impact on the country music scene there, along with artists like Willie Nelson, creating the genre known as "outlaw country".
 
Matt Weesner talked with South Dakota native Chris Gage, and his wife and musical partner Christine Albert.
