White Lightnig Bug

Post by Roadkill » Tue Jun 04, 2024 11:33 pm

In 1959 George Jones created the tune White Lightning.

That was the year I got my first tying kit a few months after it hit the airwaves. I have no doubt that I was tying some of my first flies while it played on my transistor radio. ;)

"Mighty, mighty pleasin', my pappy's corn squeezin (whew, white lightnin)." 8-)
