Johnny Bush is one of the last real country singers still alive today. He wrote the song "Whiskey River" that Willie Nelson opens with at every concert since 1972. Johnny Bush started in the music business back in 1953 with some western swing bands and he was a drummer for Ray Price and Willie Nelson back in the late 1950s and early 1960s. In 1966 he formed his own band called Johnny Bush and the Bandoleros. Some of the members in his band were notable musicians such as Jimmy Day, Darrell McCall and Bee Spears. At nearly 82 years old Johnny Bush continues to perform at numerous dance halls in Texas and at Willie Nelson's 4th of July Picnic every year.
