Jennings' mother wanted to name him Tommy but his father, William Alvin, insisted that the family tradition of "W.A." should be maintained. His father played guitar in Texas dancehalls. Some of my line went from TN/KY to Texas. Seems if one did something bad and the lawmen were after them, they took off to Texas, where at the time there was no law. I am sure others went for different reason's Florence >>
