Tara Roy recently took possession of her rescued horses from Willie Nelson’s ranch:

“OMG!!!!!! Just got Medicine Man and Accidental Outlaw, they are sooooo beautiful!!!!!! They were a little wild when we picked them up but are calming down nicely here at the house. Will send pictures soon. Just wanted to thank you for helping us get them.

WOW, now I have the horses of my dreams and the best looking paints in the county!!!!!   THANK YOU HABITAT FOR HORSES!!!!!!!!!”

Tara Roy

If you have room in your home or heart for a beautiful paint, you can see pictures of Willie Nelson’s signature paint horses available for adoption and get more information at Habitat for Horses Website here.

From the Habitat for Horses Website:

Not many know of a very special place called Luck, Texas. It’s a spot on the map outside Austin where many horses rescued from various ordeals, situations, abuse and neglect by Habitat for Horses have been offered the opportunity to reside on a peaceful ranch nestled in the Texas Hill Country.  Here they live free of their respective traumas at the home of an American Icon… Mr. Willie Nelson, a Country Music Legend.  Mr. Nelson and his daughter, Amy, have long been lovers of horses as well as faithful supporters for the rights of horses.  Mr. Nelson has graciously offered his home, a stunningly beautiful ranch in the Texas Hill Country as a safe haven for some of God’s most amazing creations.

Through the diligent efforts of Mr. Nelson, his daughter Amy, and Habitat for Horses, more than 70 of the horses rescued throughout the years by Habitat for Horses have been able to call his beautiful ranch their home. Here they have healed in body, mind and spirit and have flourished beyond our greatest expectations. Now a rare few are ready for their very own forever loving home with a family to train them and allow them to become their best friend.

I don’t know about you, but I was in need of a Janis from Texas photos of Willie Nelson & Family fix! No one does it with more feeling, and lucky for us, Janis went to see the band’s show at the Joint, Hard Rock Café, in Oklahoma last week.

Thanks, Janis!hardrockok3

Folk Uke, Hard Pans, Mike Nicolai and the Sensations to perform at Hole in the Wall Austin, (March 7, 2013)

Thursday, February 28th, 2013

On March 7, 2013, Folk Uke will perform at  Hole in the Wall, in Austin, Texas.    Amy Nelson and Cathy Guthrie will open at 10:00 p.m.

“It’s a busy week around here… Friday I’m filling in on bass with Ramsay Midwood somewhere called Hunter, TX. Then on Sunday the Sensations and I are doing our first recording session. It’s always weird and cool to hear what stuff sounds like with a little distance. Next Thursday night 3/7, we’re on a great bill at Hole in the Wall. Very excited about this gig. First on the bill, at 10pm, is Folk Uke (Cathy Guthrie & Amy Nelson).

I first saw them play in late 2005, when I strummed and sang a bit with Ramsay Midwood on a tour that Arlo Guthrie put together to benefit musicians in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Everybody was sweet and fun and the shows were great. Cathy and Amy’s respective dads, Arlo Guthrie and Willie Nelson, sat in with them in New Orleans. There were fun aftershow hotel picking parties. Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion, Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, Cyril Neville, Kevn Kinney, and a bunch of other badasses played.

I hadn’t seen Kevni Kinney since my old band the Draghounds opened for the mighty Drivin’ and Cryin’ in Minneapolis in the early 90s. I met a lot of wild and warm people on that tour.  The guys in the bands, the crew, everybody was tops. All for a good cause to boot. The whole thing was a blast, and it remains one of the highlights of my lifelong music goofing. Since then I’ve wanted to do a show with Folk Uke sometime, and now it’s finally happenin’! Get there early to see these ladies, you’ll be glad that you did, I promise.”

– Mike Nicolai

Willie Nelson and the Paula Nelson Band

Saturday, December 8th, 2012

That sounds like a good name for a band, doesn’t it?

I don’t know who took this, but I am thinking Amy Nelson did, just a guess. And Paula shared it on her Facebook page, which is where I saw it. Thanks, Paula, love your pics from the road.

Paula Nelson, Landis Armstrong, Kevin Lance and Lindsay Greene visit with Willie Nelson on his bus. Paula and the band are on tour with Willie, along with Lukas Nelson & the Promise of the Real, and Amy Nelson, too.
