WILLIE NELSON.

It doesn't get any better.
Even that last sentence is an understatement. For this Texas boy living here in Rhode Island, seeing a Willie Nelson concert up here is surreal. It's more than surreal. It's transplendant. Hahaha.

Ok, maybe it's the wine. Or the beer. Or a combination of the two and the giant Texas flag, and the amazing guitar solos. Or that voice.

It was when he broke into 'Me and Bobby McGee' that it came across that this was an amazing show. I mean, sure going to 'Help Me Make It Through the Night' early on was a great move. And then 'Angel Falling Too Close to the Ground' dropped me to the floor. It was just perfection. Better than the recordings. Better.
