Big Bill Lister in ICU

Country Music Association of Texas Hall of Famer Big Bill Lister is now situated at Life Care Hospital in San Antonio, Texas.

He is still in ICU and remains hooked up to the ventilator. He is awake and responsive though several times they have had to give him some anxiety meds to help calm him down and those usually end up putting him to sleep. It is still a very long road ahead for him.

He seems to be very responsive when he is read a card or letter that someone sends to him. Although, he can not communicate, the cards and letters seem to be making a difference for him. I know that he would love to hear from you and any one else that might remember and care about him. Country Music and his friends in that industry are so very important to him.

The address is:
Big Bill Lister
Life Care Hospital of San Antonio
8902 Floyd Curl
San Antonio , Texas 78240

Please pass this along to anyone that might want to send him a note.

Big Bill started his radio career over KNEL in Brady, Texas, in 1935. He went on to the Grand Ole Opry and opened shows all over the country for Hank Williams. He was the first to record "There's A Tear In My Beer" and has been a very important part of the Texas Country Music scene for seventy years.
