Willie Nelson - Funny How Time Slips Away (1962)
Williefest, Birthday Edition continues with another oral history about Willie and all the outlaw country boys, from April 2012.
My heroes have always been cowboys.
Every time that I’d be standing there on stage, at least at some point in the show, I had to just pinch myself to realize that I was really up there on the stage. Every one of these guys was my hero before I even knew them, you know? Because really, the first time I ever heard Waylon [Jennings], I was a janitor at the recording studio at Columbia Recording in Nashville. And I volunteered to do a Saturday [cleaning shift] when Waylon was doing a demo, and I’d never heard anything like him. It was a real eye-opener to find myself on the same stage with these guys. Because Johnny Cash, as human as he is — or was — he was always larger than life. He always felt like something right off of Mount Rushmore.

Waylon and Willie - It’s Not Supposed To Be That Way
Pretty much all Willie, which coincidentally is also the title of my new XXX feature.
When this song catches me in the right mood, I’m a blubbering wreck.
Now if he does a set with the ladies, we’re all set.
Thanks to Jugtown for the find.
