Willie Nelson Gerswhin Award Concert

[jnos]

Anyone else watch this?
Willie Nelson sings there’s ‘room for everyone’ in America on PBS last night. We had no idea it was happening--lucked out by having it on when we turned the TV on. Very, very good show! The host read a touching congratulatory letter from Jimmy Carter, who's been a friend of 30 years.

Very beautiful song and sentiment. Thanks for posting, Jnos and thanks Seabreeze for posting the whole song. Willie ie still going strong at 82 and I think his love of singing will carry to his last breath.

Thanks for posting these.

Willie has always been able to make one think pleasant thoughts.

Always loved Willie. He can get every ounce of feeling out of any song.
