Willie Nelson & Family

Saw them last week in Eugene, Oregon and to be honest it was much better than I expected. Willie sounded, well exactly like he should and his sister tore up that piano. It was a nice cool evening at beautiful, small outdoor ampitheater where micro brew, wine, and Oregon's finest cash crop flowed and burned free.

I ain't much for words but I would see him again in a second.

I damn near cried when he did Pancho & Lefty.

A true American icon he is.

I saw them either last year or in 2005. It was good show, but Willie and the band were showing there age. Great songs and Willie can still play that old beat up guitar, of which I didnt realize he took most of the leads. This was actually good because his lead guitar player was a bit rough.

Those boys have been playing together for a long time tho.

I've seen him 3 times, the first time being Farm Aid in 96.
