I love Willie. I just listened to Willie and Family live as a remembrance of his 1980 show and then into a rabbit hole of videos, including some from the last two weeks. He’s looking frail and his guitar playing is sketchy, but his voice is unmistakeable as ever, although on a duet with Glen Campbell I was amazed at how similar the two were.
He’s an American treasure for sure and I regret not taking my girls to see him when that all were younger, but they did see BB King. so 1 out of 2 ain’t bad.
