Not exactly a party song but I have always thought that Willie Nelson was born looking like he does today 🙂

Wow, I would never have known it was him. I don’t know a lot about his personal life. It looks like he must have had a lot of hard times, and in my mind, also, he’s always looked more or less like the older version. That song about “how time slips away” was one that I always felt the poignancy and sweet sort of sadness when I would hear it. Did he write that?

According to Google Willie wrote “Funny how time slips away.”

Well, yes, I believe he did. Have you ever seen a list of the songs he wrote? I tried to make a list of them all and it took many sheets of yellow legal paper to do it and I got tired of writing. I couldn’t believe all the songs I knew that he had written.

No I never knew how many songs he wrote. I have liked some of his music, but never followed him closely. Other than my fascination with the Beatles when I was 16, which lasted for a few years, I love music but I just never pay a lot of attention to the lives of the artists. Your question made me stop and realize this.

Late in his life, I found out my father loved music, most music (rap crap, as he called it, was excluded). He listened to Christian music, opera, violin, flute, just about anything. I knew he liked Country music, but, I was floored when I found out he was a huge Willie Nelson fan. He didn’t like his scruffy look, but loved his voice. He told me about all the songs Willie had written back in the early years and I looked them up. So many hit songs were on that list. Then, at some point he started playing and singing his own.

I can’t list them all here, but there is a list, 337, at wikipedia:

Yes, and as you read the list, see how many songs you recognize. A lot of them were in the 40’s and 50’s, I think, but they were hits for other singers.
