Willie Nelson

I photographed Willie Nelson this summer for American Songwriter magazine. It was great to gets so close to a living legend. There aren't many songwriters/performers of Willies caliber still alive and doing business. He belongs up there with Ray Charles and Johnny Cash and he performed and wrote songs for both of those fellows. People joke about his partying but he is one of the hardest working men in the business. His current tour helped raise funds for tornado relief in Alabama. He is 79 years old and still kicking butt.
The stories that guitar could tell! That instrument could have been in the Country Music Hall of Fame 30 years ago!
