My Willie Nelson story .... sometime around 1971 (give or take a year or two) I was playing my fiddle in a small club in Las Vegas, a friend of Willies told him about me and next thing you know Willie invited me to play with him on stage at the Golden Nugget in Downtown Las Vegas. How many stars would let a budding musician play on stage with them? Well Willie let me play the last two songs of his set with him and he will always have my love and respect. Willie is the greatest!

I went to Willie Nelson's 4th of July party in Gonzalez, TX 1975. It turned into a disaster area! Willie said keep on singin. People were falling out from to much sun, alcohol and or drugs. This was a 3 day weekend, my friends kept us close to the entrance! Then someone decided to pull part of the fence down so the majority of people we're free to go. Their were cars parked all along the street as far as you could see Willie had so many violations, tickets for vandalized property! Loved every second of it!

Willie is a legend. I might be a metal head, but this is one artist that truly has my respect. I've always liked what I call "old country". The REAL stuff. Willie, Johnny, Merle, Patsy, Hank...

[@JoyUnderwood]

kornfreak78 I'm the same way! I love my hard rock and metal, but I was also raised listening to the *real* country music, and still love listening to it once in a while. I still melt when I hear George Strait's "Amarillo by Morning" (my ultimate favorite song of his)! But I also enjoy some old George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Hank Jr. and Sr., Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, and of course Willie Nelson. ☺

[@SandraNelson063]

Read a book called Baja Oklahoma by Dan Jenkins. THAT'S country. By the way, folks who play metal are some of the best technical players you'll find. Metal folks GRASP the foundation of classical music. Run with it, baby.

[@Ace-ke7fq]

hank jr.don't count in that group though..

[@tonzowall9210]

kornfreak78 definitely! Its roots

[@QuantumLeap83]

Willie started out as a jazz/blues man. Got B.B. King his first record deal, then left the blues scene for country. You can tell the jazz influence on his country style. Before BB King died I heard an interview on Bluesville Sirius XM where BB interviewed Willie and they reminisced about the good old days, how BB had left a demo tape with Willie at a jazz show in the 50s, where Willy was playing. It was about a year later that BB saw Willie again and asked if he'd listened to it, and Willie's response was, "I've been looking all over for you, we need to talk!" and that was the beginning of BBs musical career. It's amazing to think that Willies been around that long and has been that influential.

[@LandonsGrampa]

It really doesn't get much better than this. Raw music. Raw talent. Beautiful voices. Willie, I have been listening to your music since 1964, when my dad introduced me to you. You are the reason I have been a country music fan, all of my life, that I can remember. Thank you for this. Godspeed.

Spät erst, entdeckte ich Willie Nelson (und Kris, Johnny, Waylon, usw). Willie ist für mich ein Wegbereiter, jemand der aufzeigt, der zeigt, weiß, was wirklich wichtig ist. Wir haben eben alle nur das eine Leben/diese eine Chance... Diese Musik, diese Texte, kommen von so tief drinnen, dass sie begeistern, rühren, stark machen und erkennen lassen, dass man für sein Leben, seine Rechte kämpfen darf und soll. Das klingt vielleicht eigenartig und doch löst es viele positive Dinge, Gefühle und Rechte für mich, in mir aus. Ich leide an MS und oft bin ich es leid, bloß der Pharmariesen zuliebe sündhaft teure Medikamente zu nehmen, die viele weitere Unannehmlichkeiten mit sich bringen, zu nehmen bzw zu versuchen. Und da bin ich wieder - die Kombination aus natürlichen Hilfen, wie diese Musik, Texte, der Dialog mit Willie - das sind Dinge, die dein Leben verändern können... Mehr davon. Alles denkbar Liebe!

LOVE❣️. My 75-yr-old Dad (who’s been fighting non-small cell adenocarcinoma -mainly from 3 tours in Vietnam- lung cancer) has to be Willie’s #1 fan of all time, was so happy when I played him several videos of Willie & his sons tonight! Promised him I’d be ordering him some CD’s to enjoy. He’s excited to see “what the boys are going to do!!” We truly enjoyed the family interview and Lukas’ sounding so much like his Dad. He would listen and, with tears eyes, just say, “DAMN!!!” Made my heart ❤️so happy😊❣️❣️❣️

[@rebeccabayaird8764]

I hope and prey that everything turned out alright. May God, or any higher power you prey to, bless him and I thank him for his service in a war where our heroes were treated unjustly when they came home.

[@sandymaceachen4682]

I thank your Dad for his service! God bless him!

[@zookster4701]

It is so cool knowing that we will have the sound of Willie for a lotta years after he is gone. I used to pull the truck over somewhere and sing Willie songs to my wife before we were married, and I still sang them for years. I loved singing them to her. I love Willie Nelson period!

[@matthewtaylor2185]

Blood harmony in the Nelson family is more amazing than most. I always thought Willie sounded great alone, but out of this world singing behind others, especially his duets with ladies. Those boys obviously absorbed that gift.

[@bretmaples]

Man it's like hearing Willie song all 3 parts. How awesome.

@@WillBravoNotEvilyou're correct, nothing! But add to that, that Willie is also a generous and skillful collaborator. He always makes the other guy sound great.

“Willie and the Boys” is one of my new favorite records. Highly recommended for it’s song selections, picking and harmonies. Love it, guys. Thank you!

Willie Nelson is a True Genious ! His Songwriting is Legendary!! His Vocals and Guitar playing are such a Marvelous Expression of a True Iconic Artist and Living Legend !!!! We love you Willie 😍❤💜♥💕💓😍❤💜♥💕💓😍❤💜♥!

[@dianawells8514]

I want Willie to know how much he has meant to me - his music has comforted me and helped me through hard times. I’m not one for celebrities. I never lived in the west or on a farm but I remember hat you did for for farmers Willie. Your life has been a blessing to the world! Thank you!

Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you’re fine and staying safe?

who doesn't love Willie Nelson? This an amazing man it doesn't matter what genre of music you love or where you're from everyone luvs Willie Nelson. Thanks for the music. I'm sure many people would be surprised @ the songs he wrote for others

[@cdforshee]

All I really want is to smoke a joint with Willie and chat with him for 30 minutes before he or I depart this earth.

[@lisaglatter2923]

Love willie

[@belvagonda]

I think we all do

[@ritabrown8288]

I hope it happens for you I was 18 when I smoked my first joint with Willie my life is very Blessed and my friendship with Willie is one of the reasons!

[@melodymakermark]

Well if you ever get the chance to chat with Willie for 30 minutes, I’d say the odds of the second part of your desire are better than not.

[@juliam.mallen9019]

Willie Nelson and his beautiful wife obviously raised two amazing sons who are quite talented in their own right. Great interview beautiful family! Thanks to Willie Nelson our farmers had a voice of reason speaking on their behalf..No Farm No Food. I loved the film Willie Nelson made with Amy Irving years ago it was an introduction to real country,! God Bless everyone!🇺🇲

[@Willeneilson]

Thank you ❤. Where are you chatting from

[@olensoifer9901]

Well, if there is one blessing, as Willie gets older, it is that his sons voice is an exact twin of his father's. So, we won't lose the Willie sound when we lose Willie himself. I have never heard a father and son that sounded so much like each other. Closing my eyes and listening, I could not tell them apart!

[@dartarkana4279]

This is one of those times where the apple roles not far from the tree. The sons sounds so much like the father. Wow

[@clintrock]

Sounds like red river valley. What a treat and a blessing to have such well rounded legends around in this era of forgettable pop stars and offensive politicians.

[@tripleplatinum06]

There will never be another true to life legend like Willie. The man has seen the world change and if it's out there he's seen it or done it. I know a lot of ya'll wont know who this is, but I grew up with wild bill emerson in my family. He's wrote country songs for many legends like george jones. So, even though I'm not a huge country person, those old country hero's are in my blood through and through and Willie is the last of em. He is a bonafide treasure.
