Willy grew up surrounded by rolling hills and horses in the small town of Oakdale, California. Known as the “Cowboy Capital of the World” for breeding so many world champion rodeo cowboys, Oakdale is still Willy’s home and the setting for many of his songs. Despite coming from a long line of cattlemen – his grandfather Walt was one of the most respected of his generation – Willy’s first love was baseball. As a catcher, he had a gift for the nuances of calling a game from behind the plate. When a knee injury ended his ability to catch, Willy turned his attention to music. Special Thanks to Willy for the time and allowing Bushball to use his music  for this episode. Lauren his publicist for getting us connected. My buddy who introduced me to Willy's music.  www.willyteataylor.com @willyteataylor @Bushballer
