Willie Nelson

[DanStokes]

The Star Wars concert thread got me thinkin' I should post this. My Sweetie bought us Willie Nelson tickets for January 28th. (my 63rd. birthday) in Kenansville, NC. Should be fun. I'm not a huge country fan but Willie is - well - WILLIE. ME has allergies to smoke so she'll be taking a carbon filter mask that she wears when the neighbors are burning leaves. It's a fair bet that our "neighbors" at the concert may be burning "leaves". At least, I'm guessin'.

Anything else we need to know to attend a Willie concert? Never had the chance before.

Re: Willie Nelson

Hell, Willie himself may be burning a few leaves.

Re: Willie Nelson

If your hearing is somewhat sensitive to "LOUD" sounds, you may want to take some of those little foam earplugs with you.

They seem to attenuate enough decibels to allow the music to be enjoyed, without hurting and the "ringing" after the show that is associated with concerts.

Enjoy the show and your birthday Dan !!

I've considered offering to Bondo up the hole in his guitar but I have a feeling he likes it that way. I think this will be fun - I haven't been to a concert in WAY too long. I think Bob Seger may have been the last and that was some time ago.

Good thought on the ear plugs. My hearing is pretty well shot but ME is pretty sensitive to loud noise having not burned he ears out in concert halls in the 60's.

Get her to pop a set in her purse right now while you are thinking of it, and they will be there when she needs them.

Re: Willie Nelson

Still remember my mother talking about her and my father going with another couple down to Nashville to visit the Grand Ole Opry in 1966 or thereabouts, one of the performers was Willie Nelson (my dad was the "Herb Tarlek" at the only country music station in the Toronto area during the 60s and 70s). At that point Willie still had short hair and performed dressed nicely in suit & tie. My mother hasn't liked him since he went all hippie. :D

Re: Willie Nelson

Dan, I saw an advertisement for that concert on TV just the other day. I was surprised that such a big name was going to be in a small town like Kenansville. I bet you will really enjoy that concert. Oh, and don't fix Willie's old guitar its part of his persona.

Re: Willie Nelson

Dan, Willie's concerts are pretty chilled out - you should not need earplugs (Willie's into fidelity and usually travels with REAL good audio guys - he doesn't sing loud).


Willie used to be a neighbor of my family, in Branson, MO for a year while they were performing there. A nice group of guys, but someone got busted at their house for... "burning leaves" and the townsfolk all but ran them out! it was pretty funny. This was back in the mid '90s. Willie beat the hell out of the Lennon Sisters when it came to "cool neighbors" IMO.
