I'd love to have what he paid for that shirt. He could sing Copa Cabana to me all day long then.

Ok, here is the scarey part. I turned down a full four way scholarship to Juilliard and went to Yale. Looking back, I would have been in with the Nose. By the way, Mandy was written about his dog. Really. My third ex-wife, studied under Franz List's understudy and studied piano at Juilliard with the Nose. I never knew, or met him, but SHE would make me sing Mandy, and some of the other ones when we would do Karoake. My vocal range is identical to HIM. I was also at the Copa Cabana/Epic in Key West. My fifth ex-wife paid a Queen to do a show on me for my birthday and I ended up on a news special. Argggh! Tumblers might crawl, hoever I had no place to go. I wanted to ooze out of sight and find a nice filthy bikers bar. Hard rock, no techno, bodacious babes, not guys in dresses. See how deep the effect he had on people went.

You must understand, first, that college to me in those days was a party with an 164,000$ Cover charge. Bearing that in mind, I sang the baritone sole in Bethovens ninth symphony in the All College Choir. It was televised, Eugene Ormandy conducted the Philadelphia philharmonic symphony. It was pretty cool. On the eve prior to the performance, I got to see Eugene play a Night on Bear Mountain at the St. James cathedral on a full pipe organ. It was one of the most moving pieces I had ever heard. I had heard the Ravel orchestration, the original piano, but never the entire piece on the pipe organ. The hall shook, you could feel the tembor in your chest. I had never heard a piece done that way before. It was awsome. The next night we did the ninth and it was great. It felt timeless. I got lucky with the first violin player but she was married, and things got sticky. Memories. Oh what a night.

Speaking of singing, I am watching "Willie Nelson and Friends; Outlaws and Angels" on the Trio channel. I have always loved Willie - esp. his pickin' and he's a really, really nice person. Have had the hots for Mickey Raphel, his harmonica player, for years. Just think, maybe if I would have gone to play golf with Willie and the band all those years ago, I could have made a run at Mickey! But, alas, when Jody Payne told me I would be expected to sleep with him in order to play golf with Willie, I had to pass. Already knew Willie and ain't much of a golfer anyway. Got kinda sidetracked there! LOL! Anyhoo, all sorts of performers are singing with Willie - Bob Dylan - with a straw cowbody hat on and looks like a real dork. He couldn't sing when he was young and he really sounds awful now. Can't carry a tune in a bucket, never could, but wrote some great songs. Keith Richards - great pickin' but he looks like an old fool. Skinny men his age just do not need to be wearing shirts unbuttoned to the waist! And he has his hair in multiple little pigtails (like you see on little black girls.) Little black girls are cute as the thingyens with those pigtails, Keith Richards looks like an idiot. He can't sing worth a crap either. Needs to stick to the guitar playin'! Kid Rock blasted out with Jerry Lee Lewis, who is gettin' up in years but can still pound 'em out on the piano. Merle Haggard - lookin' older but still can sing a song. Can't remember now the last song they did, but Richards, Dylan, Haggard, Willie were hittin' some pretty cool licks and Jerry Lee was doin' a whole lotta shakin' across the stage. It was a hoot! Carole King and Willie duet on Will You Love Me Tomorrow - sexy, sensual and excellent! Willie, Merle, and Toby Keith hittin' some great licks on Pancho and Lefty. Lord have mercy, I loved the 70's! Livin' in the city (Houston), seeing great bands every weekend, country and rock and roll and partying with them after the shows. (I really hate most of the music today!) Willie Nelson's First 4th of July Picnic - three days of weed, wine/beer/liquor and serious partying. I couldn't go three hours now! LOL! Sheesh, I remember Willie back when he had short hair, wore a three piece suit and pointy toe boots - known as "roach stompers' back in those days! LOL! If I could just go back in time ........... Hey, doc, you weren't one of those Skull and Bones boys at Yale, were ya'! llana

Ewww I saw that show of Willie's that had Dylan on there ... almost puked. What a way to ruin a great show.
;D He did look like a real dork! I grew up/went to school in the same town Dylan grew up in. He couldn't sing then either. I remember my brother telling me about a school talent show, they boo'd him off the stage.

I really had a hard time deciding who looked the most ridiculous - Dylan in that hat or Keith Richards in his pigtails! Neither was a pretty sight! And their singing isn't music to my ears! ;D But guess it could have been worse. Coulda been Neil Young in a ruffled "Barry" shirt up there! ;D llana

I got to see Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings in concert together once at the Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky. I'd seen Willie in concert a few times before, but I always wanted to see the two together. Willie and Waylon together at the Freedom Hall, one of the best concerts that I've ever seen! I cried when Waylon died.

I saw them at the Texas Opry House in Houston. I worked there for a couple of years. Saw them separately and together. Both very nice guys. I think Waylon was also at Willie's first 4th of July picnic - but I was drunk and stoned most of the time, so I can't say I remember seeing him on stage.
Yep, I sure hated to hear Waylon had passed on to the big concert in the sky.
Willie is having some problems with his hands - carpal tunnel- hard for him to play. I think he had surgery for it not long ago. He's 70! Hard to believe that! Really gonna be a sad day when he joins Waylon in the big concert in the sky.

A looonng time ago, I went to a Willie Nelson concert in Beumont TX (my home town). We got there late and parked in the back parking lot. We saw what appeared to be Willie's bus and stopped to look at it. We were just feet from the bus door when it swings open and out steps Willie! He almost ran into me. He apologized and laughed. The only thing I had for him to sign was a dollar bill, which he did. My Dad is a big fan from away back, with the short hair, and cowbow boots, so I gave it to him. My Dad turned me on to the "Outlaws", Willie, Waylon,Jerry Jeff Walker, ect., and that was one of the few things we shared in my youth. That and CCR. He loved CCR, allways kinda freaked me out that we could sing "Lookin out my back door" together. Memories, good ones at that ;D
