A Poem For Billy
by Michele Mategrano

The “Billy” of Rock-a-Billy
But also a rocker too.
Give him an idea,
And he’ll write a song for you.

Born in Memphis
And raised in LA,
He went back home to the country
Where he still resides today.

He lives in Nashville
And continues to work,
But in spite of his talent,
He is still overlooked.

Singer, Songwriter, Guitarist,
Even an actor too;
He’s also been a producer,
Was that fact known to you?

Back home to his roots
With his cowboy boots,
He’s just released another CD.
Now back on the road,
With his band in toe
He brings his show to you and me.

He’s as handsome as he is talented
And I will never forget,
The very first time
I laid eyes on Billy Burnette.
