[red dog 1]

(Feel free to list as many favorites as you wish)

I love ALL of Wilie's songs, but I guess my 3 favorites are:
- "Crazy" (which was a huge hit for Patsy Cline).
- "On The Road Again"
- "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die"

14. Here:

Also, Angel Flying and Always/Mind.

Interview aired on CBS yesterday. Funny: Despondent not making it in Nashville back when and laid in the street to be run over. He replied to the interviewer: "Well, it was midnight so there wasn't much traffic."

His wife of 30 years said, "All the others broke him in."

15. On the Road Again

I love the positive attitude, optimism and joy. Willie is one of those people that most everyone really likes and I'm no exception.

Willie is one of those people that most everyone really likes

16. I can tell you my favorite thing he has done.

He guest starred on Miami Vice in one episode as an elderly, out-for-revenge Texas Ranger. It was one of Vice's best episodes. Willie showed he's got acting chops.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

20. One? ONE???

Edited, because there aren't enough question marks.

[red dog 1]

22. ONE?...That's not what I asked

The question is: "What is your favorite Willie Nelson song or SONGS?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

23. Yeah, I know. I was tempted to answer "all of them."

Hard to narrow them down to a few.

Hmmmm.

Thanks.

[red dog 1]

24. I love all of Willie's songs

But I chose to list only my 3 favorites

[OriginalGeek]

25. Besides all the classics -

and I do mean all the classics that everyone knows from longtime radio play plus all the classics that are just older but I heard a lot when my dad would play Willie records - a fairly recent fave is Hesitation Blues by Willie and the Wheel (Asleep at the Wheel) with an assist from the world's most dangerous band...

and this is where I first heard it:

I also love Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain but it makes me cry when I hear it

[madamesilverspurs]

27. Somewhere Over the Rainbow

[mainstreetonce]

28. Are you are this is where you really want to be?

I love that one ,but the best has to be

You are always on my mind

[Pharlo]

30. Me and Paul

[femmocrat]

31. "To All the Girls I Loved Before" plus most of the others that were mentioned. nt

[Beausoleil]

32. Anything by Willie

But I always loved his earlier songs like Crazy, Hello Walls, Mr. Record Man, Night Life and Ain’t It Funny How Time Slips Away. All of which I've seen him perform live many times.

[OriginalGeek]

33. I hope he plays all these when I see him in october

Yeah, completely obvious bragging I just got tickets in the orchestra center, 8 rows from the stage. I was gonna try and wait for the regular tix to go on sale Friday but that would have been 2 days of presale selling all the good seats. So I joined the fan club and paid extra and now I can just breathe easy and wait for Willie.


Venue is brand new performing arts center here, about 2700 seat venue.

[onethatcares]

34. all of them but

Crazy, Pancho and Lefty, and Ain't it funny, not in that order.
