I don't think any musician or songwriter has had a bigger impact on my life than Willie Nelson. In 92 years on this earth, he has recorded upwards of 200 albums, and I've been blessed to capture some of those on vinyl so I can pass them along someday. Happy Birthday, Willie! The best to ever do it!
