Country Rock

John Williams and the Honky Tonk Buicks

I was lead guitar in this band for 16 years. During our hay day we were the House band at the Landslide Saloon for most of those 16 years. The band built a regular following that didn’t let up until the sale of the establishment. Some of my best memories of the Slide was performing at the Pigroasts every Spring and Fall. Long gone are John Williams, GeneSchiebel and Jimmy Thompson.
