We saw the legendary Willie Nelson, this past weekend.

His voice still sounds great - still has that smooth relaxed tone - but it looks like he doesn't have the breath he once had. A lot of his phrases were quick and clipped. And, he let the audience handle a lot of the singing. But, he's 80, so that's OK. His guitar playing was a bit off, though. At first, he sounded out of tune and off beat, and way too loud in the mix. Sounded like one of those "shreds" videos. Eventually, though, he synced up with the rest of the band and all was well.

As you would expect, he played a ton of his well-known songs, along with a bunch of well-known covers (including a set of Hank Williams songs).

The crowd was a much older crowd than we've seen in a while. And, thankfully, they were happy to sit down through most of the show!

Willie's son Lukas, and his band, "Promise Of The Real", opened. They do a blues/country/rock hybrid, very Texas, very rockin. He's got his dad's voice, but puts a ton of bluesy growl into it. And he's a good guitar player. He played in his dad's band, for that set.

Good show, all around. Plus, it was our 17th wedding anniversary that night.
