I don’t know if Willimina was searching for anything, or if she just wanted a kiss, but she made us feel welcome at Luck.  She almost took off Janis’ mirror.

She’s a good kisser, though, and she smells good, so it wasn’t too bad.

Janis is always the one taking pictures of Willie and fans, so it was fun getting to take her picture with Willie. We felt pretty lucky to get to tag along with Jeremy Tepper and Dallas Wayne, and for the chance to thank Willie for another wonderful 4th of July picnic.

Willie Nelson’s Wall of Luck, by Monique Claus

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Monique Claus, of The Hague, Netherlands, wrote this poem, and created this beautiful artwork, Wall of Luck.   This is the wall and gate of Willie Nelson’s ranch in Texas, with his brand on the gate.  (I think it’ s his brand; it looks like a brand). 

I thank Monique for sending me a copy of her poem and photo, Wall of Luck.  Monique re-designed the Willie Nelson Peace Research Institute, with Liz O’Garveyand Jay Greathouse, and this beautiful artwork was originally posted there.  I’m so grateful to have a copy.

Wall of Luck

You might call a wall a demarcation
a demarcation between people and places

You might call a wall a separation
a separation between you and me

You might call a wall an isolation
an isolation between me and myself

I call this wall the Wall of Unity
the wall that brings people togeter
brings them together for helping others in need
it doesn’t matter who or what these others are
it could be men, it cold be horses, or even
Mother Earth

I call this wall the Wall of Peace
the wall that brings people together for
working on A Peaceful Solution

I call this wall the Wall of Luck, becasue
we should be lucky having walls like this

Austin, Texas: Live Music Capital of the World

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Thanks to Orange Rex, for sending this picture from the SXSW music festival in Austin, and the tribute to Willie Nelson, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Janis Joplin, Townes van Zandt.  Bob Wills may still be the king down there, but Texas has given us so much great music.

Look closely, he’s pretty camouflaged, but Orange is in this pic.  Orange Rex is a performance artist, actor, fire juggler, among other things.  Here he is in Luck, Texas  last December:
