willie paid his dues in the beginning he played gutar for ppl. like minnie pearl and many others. saw him at sandstone in k.c. but it was in the period when he wasnt drikin tokind or nuttin, was a shitty show too lol but still love him
Elvis has the better voice, but Willie's version is slower and more heart-felt and IMO is more appropriate for this song. I also prefer the arrangement of this over Elvis'.
willie-we owe you so much for you not bending in the wind-this song is a master class for all wanna be writers and singers of all thats good in country-amen
Trigger does not have a cut out like that guitar does- thats not Trigger. Trigger is an old Martin Classical they evidently didnt make too many nylon stringed Martin's
Cute to see yer comments? Nice to see the young guys.\ Um? Willie doing the jamaica guy? I hear my Willie? On the old 78 I love willie Um there is this perur guy that is good? willie needs to try? Dang!!! 9 got willie? Old songs? Like Willie ustas do 78s? September song Hard time for i phone? I am trying I got willie 78
Willie? I love ya guy!!! I got you on 78s? dang!!! I love ya!! I went Jamaica again? When You gonna do the peru pipe guy? Dang Willie!!! I grew up Playing you and Hank and Patsy!!! I love yo so much!!! Tx babe!! Tellme!! Tell me that yer sweet love hasnt died/
Probably one of the best CW singers in the U.S. He did make a joke the other day, being 74 he said he finally outlived his pecker. Guess that is right up your idea of comedy.
Got to meet Willie at Kyle Petty's Victory Junction camp after the Ride Across America. Still have the drumstick the drummer threw to me. Awesome man. So gracious. Love ya Willie.
Is that Grady Martin on guitar?? Great mix !! No one on the planet sounds like Willie Nelson he has such a wonderfully unique sound !!! WE LOVE YOU WILLIE NELSON!!
He says in the song "If I made you feel "second " best!" Wow... Wow... Hmmm? I am holding back the floodgates, right now, but ,theyre about to burst, I will tell you that..... I lost my Love...i cant figure it out....or why it had to happen, but, God knows it was not the way I wanted things to go! WEll? Even "ELVIS" was dead without HIS LOVE! His Heaven! His...woman!
I've had the honor to see Willie in concert 4 times and every time he sings this song I cry, no idea why. This makes me stand out at a Willie Nelson concert because I'm a 250 pound 30 year old man!
You are blessed to see him 4 times and a 250lbs man to cry says how much his song meant to you. im 32 yrs old and remember my father listening to this song and brings back some Good memories.
willie i gotta tell you how to make methanphetamine. it is the butane out of a lighter. like a little plastic liter you buy that is plastic and clear at a gas station. don't flint it. just press the black lever without starting a flame by striking the flit. and the gas/butane is THE NUMBER ONE INGREDIANT IN METHANPHETAMINE. marlboro and i wil be wroking together. [f]c ford
Oh Youtube is a spelling contest now? Is that what you do look up words and correct peoples spelling? Get a fucking life loser because nobody on Youtube gives a Fuck about spelling!! -You fucking Douchebag.
I'm pretty sure that's because Skinner was covering Nelson's version of it. A lot of famous artists have done this song. Always the same, but with their own style in it. The way Skinner sang it last night sounded just like Willy Nelson
Hey want to know a quik tip about Mr. Willie Nelson. Well it turns out that in his earlier years he was involved in a scandal that not many people know about. Durings his trip to yelapa mexico he was involved in an orgy where he and several other adults raped young children. They did this while under the influence of drugs which were all a part of this "SACRED" ceremony. Wow i hope he can live with this. CRAZY MAN.
not many people know about it...because it never happened. And if it did happen a lot of people would know about it, and he would not be nearly as popular as he is today, just like when Micheal Jackson raped kids he was not nearly as popular as he was before that scandal
