Mrs. Old Fart and I are off for a quickie trip to Lost Wages for our 5th wedding anniversary. I may post while there, but this being my first time in the neon glow I can’t be sure how much time I’ll be spending online.

Look for posting to definitely restart by next Friday though. If it doesn’t, send bail money!

Growing up listening to both Country and Western music, I have a fairly big appreciation for the artists from the 1960’s and 1970’s. One of my absolute favorites is the legendary Willie Nelson.

I’ve seen Willie in concert once, and that was fantastic. The song tonight is the song he opens most of his shows with… Whiskey River.

Willie’s principal guitar is a Martin N-20 nylon-string acoustic, which he has named “Trigger”, after Roy Rogers’ horse. Constant strumming over the decades has worn a large hole into the guitar’s body near the sound hole. The guitar has been signed over the years by over a hundred of Nelson’s friends and associates, from fellow musicians to lawyers and football coaches.

Willie Nelson is a true American Legend.
