Thanks to Budrock, Willie Nelson & Family’s lighting director for sharing a picture of this guitar pick: “I had this idea about a week before this show. The Guthrie Thomas Company did a rush job for us. This design was done by Guthrie Thomas after a short phone discussion. We only printed a very limited (144) number of these event picks.” — Buddy
“Well, it’s about that time. Dr. Budrock and myself designed and finished Willie’s 80th Birthday Guitar Picks just in the nick of time. They are on Budrock’s desk in Texas right now and ready for the big day tomorrow…Happy Birthday, Willie. Have a great and Memorable Day..!”

Thanks so much to Guthrie Thomas, for sharing this photo of the latest Willie Nelson & Family Guitar Pick, being handed out on this current leg of their tour.
Here is the new and latest Willie Tour Pick designed by Dr. Buddy “Budrock” Prewitt! They started handing them out two days ago while they are on the West Coast tour, California. The donkey was my idea; I sent Budrock about a dozen choices..and he settled on this one. He chose the best one, of course…now that I think about it.
All my best to you! Until next time, have a good time.

”The Rainbow Connection pick has an interesting feature. Poodie called and asked for a pick that had a rainbow. I told Poodie that a rainbow had every color imaginable in it. As everyone who knew Poodie would know, that wasn’t a good enough excuse, and he replied in traditional Poodie fashion, “Figure out a way Baby Boy”. You will notice through the holographic imprint, a rainbow appears when the light hits it just right. When you see it, you will always get a flash of Poodie from it.”

“Poodie Locke loved C. P. Vaughn and was amazed by his gift as an artist. I drove to the Hilltop from Tulsa to meet with Poodie about a pick with Willie’s picture on it. It hadn’t been done and Poodie said C. P. was his choice of artists. It was the day before Merle Haggard was filming “Motorcycle Cowboy” on Willie’s set. I asked Poodie if he had any picture’s of C. P.’s to look at. On the back of the stage at the Hilltop was this bar soiled picture of Willie done by C. P. . Honeysuckle Rose, which I have hanging above my work desk. I knew after seeing this picture, Poodie was right. C. P. was our man.
The next day, C. P. and I hung out on the set and that night and next morning at the Hilltop getting to drink eachother better. We have been great friends and brothers since. I too love C. P.” — Picking
