According to “Inside Edition,” Billy โ a police officer based in San Antonio, Texas โ grabbed his guitar to entertain his fellow officers one day during roll call. His rendition of Johnny’s song was so impressive that his buddy and fellow cop Alexander Garza โ who, like Morgan is a recent police academy graduate ย โ recorded the entire performance.
โOnce he started playing, it blew us all away,โ Alexander said of his coworker, who has since earned the nickname, โThe Man in Blue.โ โWe did not expect him to be that good.โ
