Several years ago I took my granddaughter to see and hear his show at Branson MO. She didn’t know how great he was at that time I got a bandanna there for her, her choice, and an 8 + 10 photo. We were so lucky to get his autograph on them both. She is grown and married with children and I believe she loves Willy now and will always remember the night she and I met him! So will I! I’m for certain an “old timer” myself now! I don’t remember when this happened. Lol Willie was awesome! His voice is so unique and beautiful! Happy I got to see him and talk with him!

Wow! Here it is April 6th 2024 and I just heard Willie Nelson's song "old timer" for the first time in my life and I cried almost after every sentence he sang. I guess for Willie but most of these tears are because this song hits so close to home for me that it was like I heard part of my life story. I never been so touched in my heart the first time I heard a song. This one is mine. I know it's Willie's in reality but him and God are telling me something and I need to listen this time

Mr Nelson, I don't know how you do it, but each song tops the last. You brought me to tears with this song....again. It is so beautiful, and emotional, yet upsetting. So much talent in a single song, it is amazing. You really are the foundations of country music, and I feel blessed to have been born in your time. I'm only 14,but I know something, and that is: my heart will lie with country. I've come to this conclusion by listening to your music, not just with my ears, but by prying it apart in my mind too, and I have to tell you, every single speck is beautiful. THANK YOU WILLIE Xx

Hard to believe with him smoking and with all the weed he's smoked in his life, alcohol consumption, and not to mention his age that his voice is still golden. I don't think I've ever used that word to describe anything at all, nevermind a voice, but it definitely applies to good ole Willie. I was around 10 when I first heard him on my parents' stereo, It was the Stardust album on 8-Track. I'm closing in on 50 now, my musical taste had shifted to predominantly rock when I was around 12 or 13, and all these years later I still like to listen to him, although I prefer some of his earlier stuff like Shotgun Willie, The Redheaded Stranger(probably my favorite), Wanted! The Outlaws, Stardust, and The Highwaymen collaboration albums.
