      Music n songs are things that transcend time n places, can take us back to places and times we been or to places we wished we gone with the people we want... What a beautiful thing to do, and music is the catalyst for doing it. What a beautiful thing. Many a song and many a people....

    I love Willie Nelson's version of many American classics; September Song, Stardust and now "What'll I Do". I guess a great musician and honest singer can do any song and make it their own.

    We must all walk the path before us. Some part of that path you will have your companion, and your children. Then comes the time you will walk it alone. It is a long and lonely path but with God's beckoning out stretched hand, with his redeeming grace we will make it home to be with our beloved companion and family again.

    Isn't it funny how he can make one note on a guitar sound so great, he likes what he does, that is what many others lack, professional or trying to be, what he does is what separates the two.

    Search the internet. Almost every version of this song, which is spare to begin with, tries to fill it with orchestration and make it something it's not. Even Judy Garland's version, which is spare, adds jazz flourishes. Willie sings it spare with piano and a little harmonica. It really gets to the loneliness and wistfulness of this lovely tune. Nice to see Willie's sister on the piano. Heartbreaking and fulfilling all at once.

    "What'll I Do"
    (originally by Irving Berlin)Gone is the romance that was so divine
    It's broken and cannot be mended
    You must go your way and I must go mine
    But now that our love dreams have endedWhat'll I do
    When you are far away
    And I am blue
    What'll I do?What'll I do?
    When I am wondering who
    Is kissing you
    What'll I do?What'll I do
    With just a photograph
    To tell my troubles to?When I'm alone
    With only dreams of you
    That can't come true
    What'll I do?What'll I do
    With just a photograph
    To tell my troubles to?When I'm alone
    With only dreams of you
    That can't come true
    What'll I do?
