You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Damn! 82??? Seems like he's been around forEVER!!! Still LOVE "Little Old Fashioned Karma" from 1983's "Tougher Than Leather" album. And of COURSE, all his covers of the American songbook! smile

Hungry? Just look in the mirror and get fed up.

Yeah, and I just saw him perform a long set at his legendary Birthday Party celebration last year... After coaxing out ancient Merle Haggard (who is younger than Willie!) to perform... Amazing. Willie did a set with his sister, too... Must be something in the weed

2 or 3yrs ago I bought my Mother tickets to see Willie LIVE for the 1st time...She Loves him but never bothered to see him in Concert..I got her 2 seats on the floor...She said Willie's Son & I think his daughter opened the show and performed the bulk of the show, she said Willie's Son has a nice voice...My Mom said Willie was "alright" but his old age/vocals made it a bit harder for her to enjoy the few songs he sang that evening....I'm glad she was able to see him at least once...
