If You Like Willie..........

[olddawggreen]

Your gonna love his son, Lucas Nelson. We saw him with play and sing with his dad at the 4th of July Picnic at the Stock Yards in Fort Worth last week and man he was great. He's 17 and plays the gutiar like he'd been playing for 20 years (probably has been playing for 17 years now that I think of it ;) ).

The crowd went wild when he played Stevie Ray Vaughn's " It's Flooding Down In Texas". He has a great voice too. You could tell that Willie was one proud Papa. I predict that this young man will have a long successful carer in the music industry!:) :)

Willie had a son 17 years ago?

So he was like 79 years old, had 77 years of hard core drug abuse under his belt, and he's still not sterile. He's like a danged Timex. Just keeps on ticking.

Are The Early November still together? I haven't listened much to the brand of music since '04 or so. They were alright compared to the rest of the emo/scream/hardcore genre. I swear, that song "breath in deep, let it out slow" is a biography on my visits to the port-o-john. :D
