At the Gorge with Bob Dylan, John Mellencamp and Billy Strings.

Been hoping he makes it!
I’ve never had the chance to see him.
Consider it a once in a lifetime experience.

Born before midnight on the 29th but courthouse registration took place on 30th so they used that date on birth certificate.

I worked for Whole Foods in Austin TX long before the Amazon buyout and one night the Willie tour bus pulled into the parking lot and Willie himself came in to do the shopping. I helped him find what he was looking for, and it was an interesting brush with greatness. Such an approachable human being. He was never negative or anything like that.
