Don’t forget, Sirius/XM Radio is re-broadcasting the Willie Nelson & Family Holiday Concert, at Willie’s Place Theater, in Carl’s Corner, Texas, that happened on December 16, 2009.
Willie brought his musical family home to Texas for Christmas, and they performed for few hundred lucky fans who got to see the show in the cozy Willie’s Theater. (Not a bad seat in the house, btw).
Micah Nelson helped out on percussion.
Billy Joe Shaver
Sirius XM’s Willie’s Place channel has a studio in the truckstop, they broadcast the show live, which featured the Blackwood Quartet, Billy Joe Shaver, Billy Bob Thornton and the Box Masters, Ray Price as well as Willie Nelson and Family, including sons Lukas and Micah in the band.
Willie spent an hour after the show signing autographs, taking pictures from the stage.
The satellite radio station isn’t broadcasting the entire show tomorrow night, though – on Christmas night they will broadcast the Willie Nelson portion of the broadcast. What a great Christmas gift! Stay tuned to see if they re-broadcast the rest of the great concert next year.
The folks at Carl’s Corner had the place looking so festive, and took such care of all of us.
You should really listen to this show, you will enjoy it so much. I don’t think I talked about this concert much, yet, but it was fantastic. Willie’s Theater is so cozy. Even standing back by the bar, you can see the stage so well. And Willie can see the audience, and it’s like he knows everybody there. Somehow he makes us all feel welcome.
He played a lot of different music, favorites like Shoeshine Man, the song that he recorded, then made his own music video too. I posted it below, if you haven’t seen it yet. I want to watch it again myself, it’s so fun to watch. Son Lukas and Micah were there, so we got to hear It’s Flooding Down in Texas. He sang ‘Pretty Paper’ and Jingle Bells. Also, he invites Bill Mack to come on stage and sing ‘Drinking Champagne’ with him; then invites the audience to join in on the chorus. It’s really fun. And he sang ‘Pick up the Tempo’ one of my favorites, oh they all are who am I kidding.
The show will be rebroadcast at 5:00 p.m. here in Colorado, and 7:00 p.m. ET.
