    The way that Johnny Cash looks at his friend Willie Nelson with so much admiration and love honestly chokes me up every time I see it. Miss him terribly.

    My late husband loved Willie Nelson. We liked to tease each other, and when a Willie song would play, I would tell my husband that "Willie can't sing". Then we would get in a huge discussion (not argument) over Willie's voice, or lack of. My husband died unexpectedly in 1984. We were both 37. Since his death, I play Willie's songs & by gosh, he can sing. This song is extra special to me, because when Willie sings it I think of the past 38 years and "what should have been". I wish I had told him more often that I loved him, and how much he meant to me. I know I will see him again soon, and I cherish that thought.

    "This tune always makes me cry and makes me blue.
    The sound of His guitar melts my heart down to the ground.
    With a warm and lonely voice that gives hope, then
    the lyrics ripe it from your throat and that bring you back to the empty well of Tears.
    That fall on distant family ears.
    Leaving you with Sunday fears
    We all keep on listening after all these years.
    Some of the best Jazz country music I've heard in all my years. "

    My beloved dog passed away a month ago very suddenly from complications after an Addisonian Crisis (we didn't even know she had Addison's Disease until a day before she had to be put down). She was only 5 and a half years old. Every time I listen to this song I think of her and cry. All the things I should have done with her or for her, all the things I wish we could still do together. All the things I took for granted. I regret not doing so many things together with her. I still can't believe she's really gone. It feels like any second now I'll hear her claws clack on the hard floor. When I sit on the couch and put my foot on the floor I still try to find her and slip my toes underneath her to keep them warm and be able to touch her. I miss giving her kisses on her big ol' head and snout. I miss her perpetually wet nose. I miss her big soft beautiful brown eyes and they way they looked into my soul. I'd give anything to just hold her again. I have so many regrets, things I wish we could have done. She never got to see the ocean. She never got to go camping. She never got to go swimming. I just never took the time. I love you so much, Martinique. You were such a special girl. I'm sorry I couldn't help you any more. I did what I could, my angel. I'm sorry it wasn't enough.

    Four legends of music , the backing band are phenomenally good as well , but ... when Willy Nelson sings and plays that battered old guitar , there's just that something that makes him stand out , in this world of 9 day wonders" stars of music " and I use the term very lightly , where are tomorrows superstars and legends going to come from? Willy Nelson is an all time superstar and legend , like Dolly Parton, she comes to mind as well. I'm glad I was around to watch them when they were here . Keep the faith!! 😎🤞🎸

    this song chokes me up every time i hear it. the meaningfulness of nelson’s voice combined with the sound of trigger makes me cry, and i don’t even know why. it’s that good type of crying. the type where you enjoy the cry you have. the solo with him and trigger before the last verse of usually where i crack. this is one of the songs where after i listen to it, i sit back, close my tabs, and think to myself: “how lucky are we? what the f*ck did i just watch.” thank you, willie nelson. thank you, waylon jennings. thank you, johnny cash. thank you, kris kristofferson. thank you, highwaymen. 🖤🤍🖤🤍
