On the road again.....


So to wrap up Willie Nelson week....
  • He wrote "Crazy" for Patsy Cline....who at first wasn't so "crazy" about it.
  • Wrote "Pretty Paper" for Roy Orbison back in the 60's.....Xmas hit.
  • Wrote "Night Life" (most covered Country song of all time)
  • "Night Life" also recorded by Charles Manson.
  • Has dabbled in acting....
  • Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream flavor "Willie Nelson's Country Peach Cobbler"
    (?? not so great....mine had a hair in it)





    Now if you REALLY have nothing to do for the next 18 minutes....

    I heard this on NPR a few years ago and it stuck with me.

  • Let this player load a minute....
  • "Pause" the Neil Diamond player.....
  • Fast forward (slide cursor to the right) the NPR player to the 6:50 mark and let it play.
