Trigger

Willie bought Trigger in 1969 after a drunk at John T. Floore's stomped his Baldwin guitar beyond repair. Today Trigger looks like something you would have a hard time selling in a pawn shop. But that guitar has one of the finest voices in the world. And I like the idea that the guitar was born in Nazareth. Here is a great article from Texas Monthly about that mythical guitar.

    Thanks for the heads-up on that article, Heath. Good stuff, and I've got the "Shotgun Willie" album playing as I type.
