WHISKEY RIVER and WILLIE NELSON!

Willie Nelson's Guitar

WILLIE NESLON
the
ORIGINAL "OUTLAW"
the
master "storyteller"
the prophet of our times

just strolled on stage with his ole' friends

and

picked up that ole guitar, his trusted friend

and
with a look and a move of his fingers:
we were there!

"WHISKEY RIVER TOOK OUR MINDS"

into a night of

remarkable

Willie!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4WYHJNYX7k

It was a night of memories, of watching Willie and being amazed at his genius, and OMG, his mastery through the years...

He's been called a modern day prophet

since I can remember,

his way with words

and

his voice

his storytelling through that guitar and ability to tell stories that leave you wanting more.

Last night and 78 years old now

was no exception!

His voice powerful

and his carpel tunnel surgery seems to have made his skills on that guitar better than ever

as he threw some notes and picked that guitar to give it

the worn look and hole he shows proudly!

His sister Bobbie ran across those ivories on that piano

like she did in her youth

wearing her signature hat

and

taking her place at the piano!

Willie would turn to her and then

nod his head... his baby sister did her magic!

Oh boy would she then just take off on those keys

and do much more than

"tickle the ivories"

she made them talk to you!

She took my breath away

each time

she took command of the stage and the audience

as they went wild listening to her!

AND

of course there was

Mickey Rafeal the harmonica player!!!

"Oh how I love some Mickey"

and remember with such fun

all those years they would tour in DC

and times behind stage where I would just

enjoy so much

and that Mickey is still just as fierce now as he was then!

He is just off the chain remarkable

and can make that juice harp

do things that take your heart

and

Willie's words to new depths of understanding!

Willie

with Paul English on the Drums

...

Oh what a night,

and

he didn't give you time to take a breath

as

he moved from one song and one setting that guitar on fire

to

the next!

The audience were like jumping jacks

on their feet to show him how much he is loved

how much his music is appreciated through the years

and

the hoops and hollers and whistles with each beginning strike of a chord or each sound of the piano, harmonica

or

beat of the drum

Willie knew

that most of those there

"appreciated and have sat in many a bar, a home, a boat"

and

listened and been there with him through the years!

ONe after the other
Willie sang em,
we all LOVED HIM
AND
HIS MUSIC!

And

he played/sang right up until he left the building!

Enjoy

"You Don't Think I'm Funny Anymore"

cos'

Willie had a blast singin it last night!

hahaha

It was a night filled of Willie and his family! And a night of great friends together, to celebrate the wonder of Willie and relive some memories that are just too good to write about!

When you have the time

and

want to hear a modern day prophet tell of life

of

ups/downs/arounds

and

with such poetry in living

take a journey of musical wonder

through the years of

Willie Nelson!

He's not getting any older I've decided

he's just

WILLIE NELSON

and

last night they were selling all sorts of things of his merchandise that folks were purchasing like crazy.

The one thing I think is a darn good idea said this:

WILLIE NELSON FOR PRESIDENT 2012

PAUL ENGLISH FOR VICE

...

Willie sang many of my most favorite songs last night

he dusted some off from years ago,

each with a rawness of the Outlaws

as he sang one for Waylon

as he sang

"Me N Paul" for Paul English

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_2WeE52IyE

 what a life they've lived~

and

then he sang this:

and

once again

I lost my breath and was lost in time

for awhile:

So

welcome to the week-end

i hope it is spectacular!

Perhaps I should jump in the car to West Palm Beach

and

catch Patti Labelle as she is performing there tonight!!!

JUST KIDDING!!!!!

I'm thinking I'll just enjoy this day

and

give the neighbors a musical delight

as I crank the volume even higher

after giving the 4 leggeds earplugs

and

enjoy

Patti Labelle and Willie

as

I continue

to stay blessed with the musical blessings

of the legends

that I was with the last two nights!

May you enjoy all that is waiting for you!
