Catfish and Eddie Kilroy missing from Willies Place XM-13

NOTE: Update of November 17th. Eddie Kilroy’s bio is still missing from the XM-13 website, but he is slotted for 7 - 11. Eddie is on right now, playing songs that “put a lot of rocks in the driveway” - and the songs that made Willie’s Place as great as it is. Perhaps the XM-13 website is in transition.

He certainly deserves it, and we already miss him.

Honky Tonk Season
Honky Tonk In Dallas
Don’t Put Down The Honky Tonks
Close All The Honkly Tonks
Out Of A Honky Tonk
Honky Tonk Song
And the list goes on — I rest my case.
