“you guys I AM DONE !!!! I got great feedback at zeega so looks like you all are gonna hang in a major museum this week in SF!!! I hope I got everyone (plus a few Larry and Joy and Zack ) from our magical weekend I heard that it will be featured part of the exhibit XOXOXOXOXOXOOXO you guys my love letter to everyone – thanks for letting me go through your pictures (I think I asked everyone) let me… know if you see one that belongs to you that I didnt mention you I tried !! ) Lindsey I did not ask but I took one of you because you were missing from the collage. My concept is the relationships and lives that are touched by the Nelson family music and the love it generates in the world that we take with us in our hearts and spread like wildfire until we need another recharge from our next show! You either understand it or you don’t but you cannot deny how REAL the bond is. LOVE YOU ALL!!! — Mary Jane Lane

Promise of the Real fan and music lover Mary Jane Lane from California shared this photo of her video installation on display at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. How cool is that? The video features a Gathering of Promise of the Real Fans in Austin last month. The installation will be up for next couple of days.  Here is link to slide show:  here

Thanks, friend!

Willie Nelson, “Let’s Face the Music and Dance”

Thursday, April 25th, 2013

www.jsonline.com

On his new album, “Let’s Face the Music and Dance,” Willie Nelson and his musical Family band lay the musical vibe that has kept them on the road for decades across a swath of American classics. The impressive tracklist ranges from the 1935 Irving Berlin title track to a sparse introspective update of the singer’s own “Is the Better Part Over.”

To mark the new album (You can read my review of it here), Nelson has released a video that captures the musicians recording Django Reinhardt’s “Nuages” in the studio. Watch it below. One of a pair of instrumental tracks on the record, the song dances across the smoky jazz riffs from Nelson’s classical guitar, Trigger,” and the musical interplay of his sister Bobbie Nelson’s piano and Mickey Raphael’s resonant harmonica.

The black and white video captures the moment beautifully. At nearly 80 years old (his birthday is next week), Nelson’s face carries the emotions of a life well-lived, but not nearly finished. The band sits at the ready to add their inspiration to the lush track. But, it is Nelson’s hands and Trigger who are the stars here – both cracked and craggy, yet filled with musical vitality. His fingers dance across the strings just above the ragged texture of the guitar’s face. And, it’s all captured gorgeously in remarkable clarity.

This video probably won’t be one of country music’s most-watched of the year, but it is likely one of the best.
