Re: Willie Nelson's 90th Birthday Celebration!

Many years ago, before Willie was famous, I went to a George Jones concert.  Willie was the opening act.  George was too drunk to perform so it turned into a Willie Nelson concert!  It was fantastic and everyone was thrilled to death!

 

I just googled the special and it was on CBS so should be streaming on Paramount+ now.  There's also a four episode docu-series streaming too.

Since they performed together on the show, I thought you would get a chuckle from this.

Re: Willie Nelson's 90th Birthday Celebration!

@ciao_bella   thank you fir that info on the celebration of Willies 90th !  I need to find it ,  had no idea about it or I would have certainly watched it !  I'm a huge fan of Willie,  have seen him in concert many times .  A couple of times At Westbury Music hall in Long Island ,  that was years ago I think in the early 1990's.  I learned about him from my dad who was a very big fan , well of country music in general .  I never was then , am now ,  but did appreciate Willies  talent and also as a human being ,  very generous and kind , caring man .  I read a book about his life years ago ,  don't remember the name of it ,  but it was very moving account of his life starting from his childhood .

Re: Willie Nelson's 90th Birthday Celebration!

I enjoyed. I missed the start of it. Did anyone sing 'Seven Spanish Angels' ? The duet was originally by Willie and Ray Charles. I ask Alexa for it frequently.

 

I agree that the one son is a look alike (younger years of course) and sound alike of Mr. Nelson.

 

I am glad so many geezers in the entertainment industry are long lived. For selfish  reasons (my enjoyment) , I have enjoyed the specials around their birthday celebrations = Willie Nelson,Carol Burnette,Dic k Van ******, Norman Lear!

Although I'm also an Elvis fan, Willie sings it better.
