Williams hails from Austin, and he sang about Texas, Texans and, as he put it, ‘‘real life.” In between songs, he told stories about where he had worked, ladies he had known, and good ol’ boys he had met.

Deal records, you don’t have to worry about what you put on an album.”), “Wichita Falls’’ (“Before the tornados, I used to go to Wichita Falls. I might go back to see if its changed ”) and “Catch Another Butterfly,” a song of his that has been recorded by John Denver MB SPRING QTR. SCHEDULE Mon.
