WILLIE NELSON Hometown, House & First Performance in Church!

[@theangendeavor9910]

Thank you Jordan for vlogging such an awesome musician Willie Nelson! It makes me sad that a lot of people who were saying negative things about him and boycotting him because they don't like his democratic views and supporting progressive ideas. But whatever, he is super cool and who cares what people think!!

[@scottieburnett5606]

Loved the humble Willie stories! He literally never forgot where he came from.

[@sharonfrazier4914]

Thanks Jordan and Breck, for this information on Mr. Willie Nelson. After all, he's a historical figure, and a very thoughtful, person in spite of his fame/talents etc. All of this is great.

[@lucygu9126]

I love Willy Nelson, his music and the kind of man he is, so humble and humanitarian. And I also love the way you tell us all about the people on your videos. Thanks for letting us travel with you even now in quarantine. Many greetings from Germany!!

[@RhettyforHistory]

Great little tour of Willie's town! This all explains his willingness to help out so much Farm Aid. Thanks for showing us!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Yep, he's the real deal

[@dmsomers]

Life would not be quite right without Willie and Waylon...

[@paulineveloza4945]

As others have said, it was wonderful to see where Willie Nelson's calls home, and that he has not put it in his rear view mirror!!! I also believe he would have been glad to meet you!!

[@annesantos5104]

Jordan, I enjoyed this tour of Abbott and seeing the church, the house and the store Willie owns. Abbott reminds me of the small towns I grew up around in Missouri. I’m glad you were able to take us inside the church. As usual, your superb storytelling skills enhance and bring your vlogs to life. Thank you!

[@MICHELLE-gu2qc]

Willy sounds like an amazing man, still supporting the small town he was born and bred. I love the nose picking story it was very funny. Amazing stain glass windows, great work and lucky there was a lady keen enough for to look inside. My whole family watched this Vlog. Amazing work Jordan Thank you for sharing with us

[@tammiel3812]

Jordan once again you did an awesome job thank you I love Willie Nelson for the tip of my toes all the way up to the top of my head. I Love redheads, and I even married a redhead (when we were kids)! My daddy listen to his music and I still listen to his music! One da I will meet Willie, if not in heaven.🥰👆🏼🙏🏼

[@dashaybraden-gamble4351]

Got to love Willie my grandfather met him few times and each times had nothing but great things to say about him

[@jimteal2606]

My neck of the woods. Y'all have fun. Get some kolaches over in West. Fun fact: back in the 80s, all the small towns in this area had street dances, and it was not unusual for Willie to show up and sing. Great man. Good person.

[@MsRan59]

I've been there several times..... enjoyed visiting with the town people..... small town with a big heart...

[@tamarawalker8973]

Welcome to Texas. We love Willie. He used to play alot of, now closed places off Jacksboro Hwy. in Fort Worth, also.

[@go-goakins1489]

Willie was a great actor too - he costarred with Robert Redford in the movie 🍿 “ electric ⚡️ horseman”🎥

[@debbiebrister3461]

I love the old historical buildings! I love that Willie is preserving them! Great video!

[@pdxer8895]

Willie is so cool. I was watching some Supersuckers video's, and there he is. Never afraid to try new things. Thumbs up!

[@go-goakins1489]

That is a beautiful church🤙🤙

[@joeyrobison6629]

I have a relative who lives in West. We had barbecue at the restaurant in Abbott just off I-35. I've never been into the town of Abbott so this was a treat for me! Thank you.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Still Smokin? BbQ

[@joeyrobison6629]

@@DazewithJordantheLion That's it! It was pretty good.

[@leannbrooks218]

I wish Willie would have been in town while you were there! He would have liked you

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Me too

[@wendymcfadyen-allerby6142]

Wow those lights look so cool, Jah is such a cool dog, greetings to Breck. Thank you Jordan, enjoyed the back story. Big shout out to that lovely lady who let you into the church.

[@vickielawson3701]

Beautiful ❤️🙏❤️ Church and Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️

[@waynegross2113]

What an awesome video.. I learned a lot about Willie Nelson that I didn't know. That's why I always tune in, I never know what I'm going to learn or find out about someone or some thing!

[@leggettnada1]

I love Willie Nelson and what a quaint and peaceful little town. The population must be about 500. This was great and thank you Jordan... Peace, Love and Happiness to you alway's and forever...

[@rhondadaum8657]

I know Jah was glad to see Breck. This makes me feel so good guys!

[@shannylester7656]

Thank You for everything you do from the bottom of my heart :)

[@rhondadaum8657]

So glad you are hanging together!!

[@bgd73]

hard to believe these towns stay small. I am up in maine, right next door to the early 1800s church in a town of 700. I can smell when they turn the light son.. old incandescent chandeliers. It does mean something, if you come back to it. I was 15 to live here..came back a disabled vet 30 years later. I hope he keeps doing something for his old town.

[@sunspots6077]

I live in Austin. Always when I go up 35 I see the sign for Abbot but never realized it was so close to the interstate ( I always stop at the Czech Stop in West for Blueberry cheese Kolaches though!). Willy is an American Institution. My last GF went to high school with Bobbie's son and used to hang out at her house. Saw Willie riding his bike up my street in Austin one time.... Going to stop in Abbott one of these days

[@frankholt4325]

Fantastic vlog Jordan I,ve been a fan of Willie Nelson since I first heard his album "Red Headed Stranger" in 1975. Welcome to the Lone Star State.

[@thejaydemarie3990]

Absolutely loved that little church! If those walls could talk! Thank you for the effort put into your videos Jordan. It doesn't go unnoticed!

[@staceymaring2710]

Great vlog. If I am ever in TX this is a must stop even if there isn't much to see - how exciting!

[@jermar1979]

Great video! Love Willie Nelson! ❤️

[@dazzlingchick]

💋Great vlog as always Jordan. Blessings. ~Love and Light 💖Carli

[@sailingavocet]

awesome video!!!! We love Willie Nelson, we actually listen to him alot when we sail. we live aboard our sail boat, sailing around the world

[@robinnisius8504]

Great vlog. My step kids went to school with Willie's grandkids in Austin and got to see him a few times. They said he was a blast to be around!

[@Gang155]

Jordan, this was such a wonderful vlog! I’m thrilled that you were able to see the inside of the church and it was definitely meant to be. I can’t wait to see more of this trip!

[@Danny_S.]

Awesome video Jordan. You are in my neck of the woods. So close to where I live.

[@AH-rl9ev]

Imagine if Willie was home and came out and said "Hey there Young Fella" and invited you in.....

[@kauzpayne2]

is that type of guy . i was escorted back after after one of shows to meet him. and yest i got a signed photo when i meet him. Card Tricks with Willie: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXuTn5aMpteXbq8

[@koolkid1702]

I would realie looovvveeee that!!!! Would be realie awsom af!!!!

[@badapple65]

And Willie then rolled up a big one, Mountain Dew, and a Big Ole’ bag of Doritos shared with everyone! Sorry, I got carried away a little....

[@davidellis5141]

Willie has a great reputation as an artist , partier , rebel & " forgetting " to pay the IRS from time to time. Quite a humanitarian as well. Lots of nice detail in this vlog.

[@2pi628]

No one should pay the IRS. It's the most Un-American law ever passed. It's tantamount to enslaving every American. It's immoral. Not only that when "they" sold it to America they claimed it would never effect the everyday American as labor was viewed as an expense. Thus, not income. Thus no tax on employee labor. Your "expenses" are your sweat, blood, tears, and time. $10/hour pay - $10 of sweat/life expense = $0 income. The IRS does not view it like that anymore. Fraudulently I might add. We have become the slaves to their bankers...the Federal Reserve member banks.

[@matthewleonard.3572]

Thank you Brother Jordan! Awesome vlog!! Keep them coming buddy!Every day i get up i make sure that MYSELF and, My 6 year old get to watch ya! It's like your our cousin. Because we watch ya so much! Thank you again!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Great!

[@sandeedriver1941]

Hi Jordan and jah. was nice to see BRECK again. Hope to see him more. Enjoyed this vlog. Thank you,

[@Rossman2U]

Always love to hear his music, ruff on the edges, but a talented artist. Good video as always.

[@joycebowen8958]

Hey if you are still in Abbott you should try the chec bakery and go to the town next door and visit the Backyard Silversmiths.I have a lot of his custom pieces He is an amazing artist.Hope you love Texas!!!!

[@MsMarisha1]

Thanks for posting. Such a great video. Love Willie so much ❤️

[@fabianespo9318]

In 1986 he played a main role in Miami Vice , that was the world's most popular TV show at the time .Great episode, and put him in the internationally scope since Country music is mostly american. The episode of Miami Vice's season 3 was called ' El Viejo' , the old man in spanish, he played a retired texan policeman, so in 1986 he was 'old' , we are in 2020. Its shockingly fantastic!

[@jeffkidd7409]

Very cool little town. The church is great as well. Great that they opened the church for you guys. Glad to see Breck "riding shotgun" again. Great things happen to you all the time Jordan. God opens doors for you all the time. VERY COOL VLOG! Now it's "ONE THE ROAD AGAIN...…. :) "

[@dianebenzler9133]

I am a big Willie Nelson fan, so thanks for this vlog!

[@hellerjerry]

so neat.....I was stationed not far away at Ft Hood but never got to travel out much in the area

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

I covered a lot of ground on this trip... You'll see..

[@elizabethpitsor-halcrow4211]

Hi Lion! This is very special to me,,thanks so much for this vlog!! Keep on your travels and keep on taking us with you! I look forward to your vlogs and videos Jordan!! I lived in Austin where I met Mr. Joe Walsh at a Fareway Grocery Store. I also lived in Marble Falls for a bit,,my son was born in Burnett !

[@sammychicken3457]

Really enjoyable vlog Jordon. It's good to see where Willie Neslon grew up.

[@sallybeaver9110]

I just adore Willie..thanks J!!!

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Great vlog Jordan! Nice to know about Willie Nelson's home town.

[@lauriecoleman6361]

Willie Nelson has such an amazing singing style. I could listen to him all day. A wonderful vlog Jordan!

[@staceyrichardson6413]

Thank you, Jordan!!! I really enjoyed this vlog. Very sad that her friends have passed from the town. It happens a lot when we get older.

[@mommawolfv1881]

Jordan welcome back to tx you stop in Hillsboro tx a little town north of Abbott it has a lot of history with Elvis and Bonnie and Clyde we have been a big fan since day 1 love the vlogs.

[@mollybibb7498]

Just now playing catch up on your videos while you were in my home state. Thanks for getting to some of these places. Waco is my hometown. I grew up in Woodway.

[@charmed9998]

I loved the video,and learning about Willie Nelson really awesome video Jordon love it.

[@happytrails3]

Well made video, great quality camera, and you are good at being a tour guide. Thanks for the tour! Lots of empty buildings, it looks like, but still interesting nonetheless. p.s. Nice that the sky was clear when you were there! Really a difference.

[@janadeubner9883]

And I thought Arcanum was a small town, Abbott is really small! I have been reading that Willie is a really nice and caring guy. He has adopted some wild horses and is taking care of them on his ranch to keep from being killed. And he hasn't forgotten his upbringing and his hometown. Very cool!

[@magz98610]

Great vlog Jordan, great to see Breck again, cool backstory on Willie,my chihuahua stands up and puts her hand up like Jah I call it her stance ;)

[@debbieclark7031]

You're a great storyteller. I enjoyed this Vlog. It was great you got into the church. It's wonderful Willie is restoring the town .

[@bsmith0307]

Love your vlogs, I watch them all the time. As they say learn something new everyday

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Thank you

[@lovett1200]

This was great...thanks for the tour of Abbott Tx. I have seen Willie in concert several times in Kansas..a great showman for sure.

[@rhondadaum8657]

Was just listening to his son, Lukas. Sounds just like him!

[@donclark4685]

I like this town. Looks peaceful! Nice VLOF Jordan. Keep up the fine work.

[@vickymccann5864]

One most amazing vlogs I really enjoyed it thank you I also live in Texas I had no idea that willie Nelson was born in abbot Tx it’s such amazing discovery

[@sailingavocet]

it was awesome!

[@TaureanMale02]

Awesome vid!!

[@jenniferesser8249]

😇🎉 Hi Jordan, It's always nice to hear where an artists roots are, and I had NO idea that, Willie Nelson grew up in Texas, but it isn't a surprise to know that, he grew up in a little town, because most artists/actors are from small towns. I think Willie Nelson is a VERY Humble Man and he is VERY down to earth. I enjoyed watching this video, and learning about Abbott, and learning where Willie Nelson, got his start to fame. Thank YOU for sharing this adventure with us.😊

[@suzannebaker6096]

Love this story about Willie. Thanks for sharing.

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Hi Jordan, great to see you, Breck and the Jahster all together again. What a lovely looking church, but the town looks way to quiet for me. It's so nice that Willie has supported his hometown so much by buying properties and doing fundraising concerts, and keeping the town alive. How kind of that lady to open the chuch for you aswell. Great vlog Jordan.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Yeah, we really lucked out. Met one person in town, started asking a couple of questions, and next thing you know she was saying she's the caretaker for all of his properties in abbott and was very happy to see us so interested

[@davidmckinney6577]

I'm like Willie I like Frank Sinatra . A wonderful Vlog Jordan you are awesome narrator..

[@barbmelle3136]

From Leo: I lived North of there for a few years. I even ate a few meals at Willies place/ Carl's corner before it also went out of business. You did a nice job with the historical presentation. It is nice that Willie Nelson has a heart for his old home town. The times were so much different than mine in a large city. You illustrate a fact that is completely opposed to sentimental influence. I have never lived in a city where there was not someone that wanted to preserve the past, usually subsidizing it with taxpayer dollars. When a building, neighborhood, or even town is no longer viable, even massive amounts of outside money really does not keep a town functioning. You might preserve a building or two, but there just no way to make something the same as it used to be.

[@bunnyharris8444]

Thank u so much for this, willie is awesome. Just imagine u were doing yr filming and ran into him wow.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Some day, hopefully

[@josephjohnston5213]

That is Willies house, it is on Mesquite drive. I visited it back in 1992

[@tracyroth-myers5574]

I love this! Thank you Jordan 😎

[@badapple65]

[@estellascouten1078]

Happy Monday! Great vlog to start off my week! Wow, small town America with the great Willie Nelson's home town!!! Happy that you were able to have access to the church!! Loved it! Have a nice day, to you and Breck! :)

Great Vlog Jordan! Willie's one of my favorite people! My mom was a huge fan! My cousin Linda interviewed him for the local NBC affiliate KMOL/WOAI, told him my mom was a fan and he autographed a picture for her. I believe I still have it🤗

I'm in Bellmead and I've been wondering about Abbott. Maybe I'll cruise through one day. I can't wait to see where else you go. I just moved to the area, so, I can get some ideas from you. Have fun!!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

You are so close by. I was in Hubbard a few days ago

[@TheHuckster100]

Great vlog! I love that part of Texas, having lived in and around Austin and San Antonio. BTW, Willie didn't actually write Always on My Mind and it's Hello Walls.

[@racheldelgado9216]

Awesome vlog. Thanks Jordan. I too love our small towns here in Texas. Here's to a marvelous 2020 and more adventures with you and Jah.
