There are individuals who believe that being spiritual and religious are not the same thing.

Sticks48 comments on Dec 25, 2019:

I believe they can be very different, and they can be mutually inclusive. Spirituality can mean different things to different folks. Religious means you follow a religious doctrine created by a religious organization, and that is where the trouble starts. At least that is the way I see it.

I was there at the Austin Opry House when this recording was made. I love me some Waylon. I saw him 5 or 6 times. I met him once . He was very nice. We were scheduled to do a show with him at Red Rocks outside of Denver, but he canceled the tour. Two of the major disappointments in life. One...Not playing with Waylon. Two...Not playing Red Rocks, if not the best outdoor venue in the country, it is in the top three I would think.
