Willie Nelson (Birth name: Willie Hugh Nelson) also celebrated a birthday! With my blog entry below and the birthday of the Empire State Building--I remembered that I missed Mr. Nelson's birthday yesterday. He is one of my FAVORITE country stars! And I got the privilege of going to his concert in Tucson.
What a show!! It lasted nearly 2.5 hours and all of my favorite songs were sung! To see this legend in person is one dream...but to actually be within a few feet of him to get a picture of him on my OWN camera was more awesome than words!
So many of his songs I love, but the all time favorite I think is "You were always on my mind". Then of course there are many more..."To all the girls I've loved before". And one song still sends chills up my skin is "Georgia on my Mind"...but tho Willie sang it beautifully, I personally like Ray Charles version much more.
Happy belated birthday Willie (April 30 1933 - Abbott Texas)

Ahhhhhh yes! I do love Willie! Some of my favorites are On The Road Again, Mama's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys, and the one he currently has out with Toby Keith - Whiskey For My Men and Beer For My Horses. Of course, all those old love songs ARE wonderful too! I just always get into his silly side!
