Country singer Willie Nelson will be on stage to reopen what’s billed as the world’s largest honky-tonk March 31. Billy Bob’s Texas, in Fort Worth, boasts three stages, 42 bar stations, a live indoor rodeo, and can pack up to 6,500 people into 100,000 square feet of floor space. The mammoth nightclub is resuming a seven-day-per-week schedule of entertainment under the new leadership of Ken Brixey, former general manager of Elvis Presley’s Graceland mansion, who also managed Southfork Ranch, setting of TV’s “Dallas.” Brixey and a group of Fort Worth investors assumed the management of Billy Bob’s Texas last November, 10 months after the failure of other investments forced the club’s developer and namesake, Billy Bob Barnett, into bankruptcy. The club has opened on weekends since Brixey’s Link Management Group took the reins.
