Here is what Poodie told me. There are a few people Will considers his very best friends that all but one go back to way before the fame and fortune. Those people include his drummer and oldest friend Paul English, Freddy Fletcher who is his sister Bobby's son, Carl Carneilus, Coach Derrell Royal, Waylon Jennings, and Randal "Poodie" Locke who died recently to name a few. Paul English wife Paula Carline was really close to Will and his wife at the time. In fact their daughter Paula was named after her. For reasons known only to God Carline died suddenly and tragically. Willie wrote the song Angle Flying Too Close To the Ground in honor and for Carline. If you listen closely to the words this the meaning to each one is now crystal clear. That is why I can't play it without a tear or two falling. Spice
