"Help Me Make It Through The Night" has got to be in my top 10 favorite Willie songs. I just listened to the original recording version and Willie's voice was so powerful in that song. Yes, powerful yet soothing and friendly at the same time. Sad that his voice is going now with his old age.
Dysfunction Junction:
My first concert was Waylon and Willie at the Garden. I went with my pops and we drove two and a half hours from the farm to the city and sat waaaay up in the blue seats with a bunch of drunk and stoned bikers. When the Jack bottle came by the old man said "Go ahead and have a swig, boy." I was ten.
Since then I've seen Willie more than a dozen more times, most recently a few months ago. He still plays all the classics and jams for hours, also taking requests while dutifully tossing his signature bandana into the crowd, replacing it on his head and throwing it again every fifteen minutes or so.
What a lot of folk don't know about Willie is that he was told he would never make it in Nashville because he couldn't sing. For many years he never played on the stage, but wrote some of the greatest country hits ever, including "Crazy, " the signature song of Patsy Cline.
Great man, great artist, great thread.
