Not a review, but there is not a subject for Birthday. Good on Willie Nelson for reaching 70. He has had his guitar for about 35 years. I believe it is the only one he plays, but I might be wrong. Anyway, he says he thinks it has aged better than he has!

His guitar has three holes in it. Don't know whether he counts the sound hole in, but he says it has a better tone with all the holes. He has it reinforced to help keep it's integrity. Also note that it is strung with nylon strings instead of wire ones. A real luthiers' nightmare! He really gets those nice sounding low Tex Mex border tones though. Style points to anyone who knows the name of his guitar.

Being an evening worker, I particularly like his song 'Night Life'. Yeah, the night life ain't no life, but it's my life. I've seen the clock say 3:00AM many times.

He used to play stand up bass on the road for Ray Price (who BTW is/was Cherokee). That is where he got a lot of his road experience, I guess. Willie sure likes the traveling.

Here's to a few more miles and many more years Willie!

Os'da Utugi buddy.
