    Hey, they tell me in life

    I'm reading Willie's My Life and he tells how he - as a minus 10yo - learned by watching from the visiting musicians in his little town, to use his voice as an instrument and his instrument (guitar or whatever) as a voice. He is actually the only one here doing that (no disrespect to the other giants he is on stage with) and consistantly. I just love hearing Willie sing!

    Robby Turner...makes that steel guitar weep and wail the best I've ever heard...just mesmerized.

    Make sure to go watch the video of a really young Willie singing this back in 1962... his growth as an artist and a person is incredible

    As I probably said before, I have listened to these four guys one by one for years. The first time I saw this 'Live at Nassau,' I was knocked to the floor. I have played myself for many years and also being a sound engineer for over 40 years, I tell you, this is the best live concert ever! Both musically' and a great sound and video production! Really sad that two of them are gone! I'm really looking for a complete DVD of this concert. And of course, what a great backup band!!!

    This band is outstanding almost beyond belief...they switch moods and sounds constantly...from song to song...whoever choreographed this inter-play of instruments was a genius.
