  • Check out this local news story about Willie Nelson and the 1974 Austin music scene. There is footage of Willie performing with Waylon's band and playing Waylon's Tele. The coolest thing about the footage is Waylon in his prime sitting on the couch beside Willie just listening to him. Waylon looks like he has likely been up for a few days. The Waylon footage plays again at the end zoomed in on him.

      @willienelsonofficialfaninb2888 Willie & Waylon were the soundtrack to my childhood. Specifically, Red headed stranger, Waylon live & “The Outlaws” with Jessie and Tompall. My grandmother would play those three records over and over again and I would sing along with her. I got my love of rocknroll & songwriter stuff like Leon Russell & Paul Simon from my dad’s records & my love of the outlaw stuff came from grandma. Later on I immersed myself in George & Tammy, Buck and the Buckaroos and Hag, and of course Hank. expanded my country horizons, but my grandma strictly loved the outlaw stuff, thank god she taught me all about those records. Now I dig Shooter and Hank 3, Jason Isbell, great newer artists like those. This is the music of my life and thank you for posting this stuff for us. Happy trails to you

He was a Country and Western fan, but he gave in, and loved Merrill Haggard. I remember not long before he died, he owned a 74 ford 1 ton, and I moved it. I was shocked to hear him listening to the Eagles. I teased him and he said he had gotten a tape of them at the auction and had not taken it out for three weeks.
