This and a few other of Willie’s 80s records show him giving back to people who helped him when he was on his way up. Paul Buskirk’s name was on the label of the first official release of Night Life (Nite Life featuring Hugh Nelson). Loyalty.

I’m so glad you didn’t bail on Willie. He’s one the artists I’ve seen most in my life and was a little worried when I went to Outlaw Festival on July 5. And he absolutely killed. Held the crowd just where he wanted them for a full hour. Pin drop moments to standing ovations. Long Live Willie!

Did you hear that idiot yell “Will you play us some Grateful Dead?”

That was me.

Get a box of Ticonderoga pencils. You won’t go back.

In the episode I mentioned a letter I wrote to Garth Hudson in 2022 (at the encouragement of @harryhew.bsky.social) when he was in the hospital. Kind of sums up how I feel about the man.

I love the little metal chain that his soprano sax is attached to. Little details…
