The Jacky Swan Story - Billy Bob's Texas

The Jacky Swan Story


This piece is made up of 800+ picks from many memorable shows performed right here at Billy Bob’s. The oldest pick dates back to 1981. Each pick is unique depending on the artist, show or the story. These picks are property of long time BBCC VIP Member, Jacky Swan. Jacky has gone from valued guest to becoming an iconic character in the Billy Bob’s Texas family.

Jacky was around when Billy Bob’s was being constructed in 1981 and got to experience Willie Nelson as his first show. He and his friends got General Admission tickets and once he saw front row seating, he knew he wanted to be there for all future concerts. Not too long after, he joined the BBCC VIP club and has never left.

Jacky attends almost every concert here at Billy Bob’s. He has his own seat designated to him in the front row. To this day he collects picks, drumsticks and setlists from any artist on the stage that hands it to him. His home has grown into a Billy Bob’s museum consisting of over 400+ posters, 400+ t-shirts, 20+ signed guitars, drumsticks and setlists. His favorite pieces are the ones that belonged to the artists that are no longer with us today.

“It doesn’t matter what type of music that has been on that stage, it’s always the same. Billy Bob’s is just an iconic music venue and great atmosphere to see a concert. I love everything about this place.”
