WILKES-BARRE - Willie Nelson gave the packed house at the F.M. Kirby Center just what they came for Friday night.
The country music legend crammed his set list with his most recognizable hits, from classics like "On the Road Again" to newer favorites like "Beer for My Horses." Other than a humble thanks, he let his guitar and lyrics do the talking.
On April 20, on Willie Nelson Boulevard outside Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater in downtown Austin, Willie Nelson witnessed the unveiling of an eight-foot, one-ton bronze rendering of his likeness. Perhaps because he is too humble to ponder his own achievements, Mr. Nelson, 79, simply said with a smile, “I’ll be stoned 1,000 years.”
The one aspect of his legacy that Mr. Nelson is not shy about discussing is his children.
Willie Nelson will world premiere his new album, Heroes, on Sirius XM Radio’s Willie’s Roadhouse channel. Beginning May 12, Willie’s Roadhouse, channel 56, will play a different song from the album every hour with commentary from Willie. The album will be released May 15.
Blue eyes crying in the rain, they are mine
Ever since you left me can’t get you out of my mind
And the years on the road, they’ve taken their toll
On me and this old guitar
Last week another friend of Dad's passed away, Gatewood Galbraith. He and Dad once drove a car around Kentucky powered completely on hemp oil as Gatewood campaigned for Governor. We'll see you later Gatewood.
See that sparrow fly across a cloudy sky
Searching for a patch of sunlight, so am I
Wish I didn’t have to follow
Perhaps I won’t in time
But I live one day at a time
On December 31, 2011 Willie Nelson and Family honored our own Bee Spears in a Private Memorial in Luck, Texas. The following video, created by David Anderson, was shown inside of the Church.
Our 514 mile bus ride last night and this morning was highlighted by more than 300 miles of blowing snow, windy conditions, and black ice which slowed our 3 buses and 1 BIG truck to under 30 mph in places. We weren't at the hotel in Rochester very long before heading over to the Civic Center for our load-in at 11 am this morning. Baby, It's cold outside.....
