Happy 84th Birthday to Willie Nelson!

I didn't realize it was Willie's birthday. One of my favorite singers. Merle Haggard was my number one. I had a chance to see them both in Atlantic City,NJ but didn't make it. Now time has run out for Merle.

RIP Merle. Ruth, they were just very close friends and that's why they called each other brother.

 
Oh, I do love Willie. I always have 2-3 Willie CD's whenever I take a road trip. That's my "traveling music".

At one time, I wouldn't have given him odds of ever reaching 84, but now I think (and hope) he'll live forever. When he does go, he'll probably get run over by his own tour bus? Why, you might ask? Because he'll probably be playing On The Road Again......

I love Willie, and have been honored to have seen him many times. Most recently (which wasn't all that recent, clearly) we went to Presque Isle, Maine to see him with Ray Price and Merle Haggard. It was a brilliant night!

Afterward, we were concerned that the whole hotel we were in was full of concertgoers, and it was. We were afraid that they would be partying all night long. Not! Apparently everyone was as old as we were, and by 10:00 the whole hotel was in bed - as were we.

I saw Kris Kristofferson a couple of weeks ago. He's still got it!
