WILLIE NELSON,ROGER MILLER - OLD FRIENDS

[@johnrandall4809]

I just found this video on Utube and it is so special to me... I was filming a sunset on Santa Monica park many years ago and Roger Miller walked up to me and watch what I was filming and then said to me " Imagine a sunset if God had money" I thought what beautiful words. But then Willie Nelson came up to see what was going on and said " Did Roger tell his line about God's sunset " "Then looking at my civil war hat he said " I must get me one of those" And here he is wearing it, Wow! They were on a tour and their bus was parked just up the road were I was filming. Thank you john R

[@JackTheSkunk]

Such a simple song yet it's as powerful as it is beautiful. Never be another like Roger Miller.

[@winfriedwinterstein8884]

Eine einzige Freude ist es die beiden spielen zu sehen.

[@LenHummelChannel]

The most soulful of all the great songs written by Roger. Willie was the perfect partner for this song.

[@JackTheSkunk]

Such a simple song but very, very beautiful.

[@bertbinsbergen7549]

Last year i lost an "0ld friend". I sure miss him every day. This song brings tears in my eyes. Thanks.

[@MsGinnyLee]

Nothing but the best..... "old friends"..... Yeah.

[@margaretwilson1539]

[@phyllissamkooistra4558]

Such a gift to the world ! Thank you !!! Thank you !!! Thank you !!!😊❤️😊

[@angiesiddall9563]

A few musicians have written a song called ~Old Friends~ all three that I have heard all have different lyrics and a different tune. Guy Clark, Bill Gaither and this rendition written by Roger Miller for his parents in Oklahoma. Roger and Willie sung so well together, the great country icons are leaving us, one by one...R.I.P. Roger Miller

[@tarquin4592]

How superb. Wonderful song. Such talent in country music......

[@rosemaryjonston8529]

Fantastic 💕💕💕💕😊

[@johnspear8499]

its a great song, and I've always been a fan of Willie's The hours that we used to spend together, we actually formed each other into what we are today. I must have a million stories of things we did together, that I share with anyone that's around! It seems like everyday something happens that triggers a memory from our days. I was telling my girlfriend yesterday about the time you shot the tv with your bb gun watching a western!

[@tangobango9653]

I lost two "old friends" this last year. This song reminds me of how important they were in my life. RIP Wally & Richard!

[@vernonsimon665]

You can count em on one 🤚 there always there for you! Cherish them!!!

[@celticdollface]

2 Kings of Country singing together , heaven!!

[@paulraymoore5263]

Two GREAT songwriters and entertainers. What a wonderful duo.

[@gheester60]

So wonderful to hear classic country music. Just beautiful!

[@tangobango9653]

Willie has seen allot of his "old friends" pass on...Waylon, Johnny Cash & the Hag! Keep on singing Willie & making us happy.

[@clarenceboggs2406]

Tango Bango , don’t forget Roger Miller, Ray Price

[@charlesquinnwarwick380]

such a great song

[@michaelbell2168]

i just hooked up my surround sound he plays the best music and great background and guiter playing

[@debraarnold3703]

This may be the only live version. Ray Price is missing. I believe he may have passed by time of this rare version, live with Willie and Roger. Fine song.

[@jim5746]

Magic

[@paulraymoore5263]

I have this video. It was a black-tie affair for the launch of one of Willie's albums.

[@jawajawajawa123]

Lol my dad was with roger when he wrote this song

[@gwinnet3142]

Best of the Best

[@Dufey19731]

Best of Budds Miss you Roger

[@raymondabrego5621]

Nobody plays like Willie

[@vernonsimon665]

OlD friends you can count them on one hand !!

[@08shortstop]

Roger painted with lyrics ...."holding arms to climb a curb" .... picture that..

[@rdvqc]

Interesting that a song with a similar name by Paul Simon also has amazing imagery

[@santiagonunez464]

08shortstop come on you ain't that old...you just want me to help you

[@maryannanderson7517]

The first time I heard this song the words "holding arms to climb a curb" meant one thing to me. I thought it was a sweet thought. Today, nearly 40 years later and after having one knee replacement surgery and another knee surgery needed but not yet done, those words mean something totally different to me. As a matter of fact about a year ago a woman with whom I have been friends for 35 plus years and I were going into a restaurant and as we stepped up on the curb, she took my arm and helped me up and that song immediately came to mind. Something else that has a totally different meaning to me now than it did when I first saw it was the little lady lying on the floor saying, "Help me. I've fallen and I can't get up." The first time I saw it, decades ago and like the majority of other people, I thought it was extremely funny. Again, it's not quite so funny today.

[@benjr3251]

Good one....

[@genioushudgins4906]

[@vernonsimon665]

You can usually count them on one hand!!! Enjoy why you can!!!

[@tangobango9653]

Boy Ol’ Willie has lost a few ‘Old Friends’......Haggard, Cash, Twitty, Waylon....and of course, Roger Miller.

[@eloyart]

sigh.

[@EricEbac22]

Isn't this the song that Bill Gaither wrote years ago?

[@EricEbac22]

Michael Brooks Ah; so, this is a completely different version then. However, I've listened to both of them and they both actually sound exactly alike.
