Willie Nelson tribute

A tribute to Willie Nelson, (one of my first inspirations to play the guitar, and actually, one of my biggest musical influences), done on the Country Music Association Awards by his peers.  Artists include Lady Antebellum performing "Always On My Mind", and "Crazy": Blake Shelton, Keith Urban, and Willie's harmonica player Mickey Raphael jamming on "Whiskey River": Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, singing "Goodhearted Woman" (a tune he wrote and performed with the late, great, Waylon Jennings), and at the very end, Willie is called up to the stage and handed his prized guitar, "Trigger" to play "On The Road Again".

A great tribute to a great musician.  Yours truly saw Willie play at Northrop Auditorium in 2002.  Will have to find the set list for that gig and blog it at some point.  Willie was a big inspiration to me as far as guitar playing, too.  He has a singular style to be sure.   He's also honored, in this video, with a Lifetime Achievement award, bearing his name.  How cool is that!
