Willie Nelson will perform at Austin City Limits’ first show, for the second time

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

Artist’s rendition of “W” hotel in Austin, and future home of Austin City Limits Studio.

KVUE television in Austin put to bed all the rumors today, when they confirmed that Willie Nelson will perform at the first Austin City Limits show, for their grand opening in their new location. No date was given, but they did say that the hotel and condominiums would be completed in December 2010. Stay tuned.

How hard do you think it will be to score a pair of tickets to that show? They probably won’t even sell tickets, there are so many VIPs who will want to go. But you know they will tape it to share with the rest of the world!

Take the virtual tour of the “W”condos and hotel here.

Thanks to PBS, here’s the original show from 1975. Willie has played there several times.

Watch the full episode. See more Austin City Limits.

See Aaron, from Willie Nelson’s crew, on the CBS Early Show Monday!

Friday, August 20th, 2010

I’m not kidding. Willie Nelson & Family crew member Aaron, is going to be on the CBS Early show on Monday morning, August 23, 2010, with his family.

Here’s the story. Aaron’s wife videotaped a home movie of Aaron and daughter Sydney playing the guitar and rocking out to a Bon Jovi song. The video is so adorable, Aaron shared it with some friends, and Budrock sent it to a few friends, to introduce WN&F’s new monitor engineer; then I posted it here – I couldn’t resist, its so cute.

Aaron has recently entered his video in a contest, with the prize being that you get your mortgage paid for a year. It’s not up at YouTube, so I can’t re-post it here, with the contest, but you should watch it, it’s great, and definitely the best of all the entries. To watch the video, and vote for Aaron’s video and help Aaron win, follow this link Taylor Morrison to the real estate company running the contest. When you get there, vote for the first video, ‘Bon Jovi Baby,’ — that’s Aaron and Sydney. The video with the most votes wins the prize.

Then today I got a call from a producer at CBS who really wanted to talk to Aaron about his video, and wanted permission to air it on the early show. I called someone who called someone who had Aaron’s number, and he talked to the producer, and long story long — Aaron and his family are going to New York City and appear on the show Monday morning! So check your local listings and watch Aaron on t.v.

This day in Willie Nelson history: Willie Nelson & Sheryl Crow on CMT Crossroads (6/16/2002)

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Willie Nelson and Sheryl Crow appear on “CMT Crossroads,” taped the previous month on the Sony Pictures lot in Los Angeles. In addition to their own material, they offer a duet on the Johnny Cash & June Carter classic “Jackson”

On May 21, 2002, Willie Nelson and Sheryl Crow tape an installment of CMT Crossroads on the Sony Pictures lot in Los Angeles. In addition to singing their own songs, including ‘Crazy,’ ‘Abilene’ and others, they sang the Johnny Cash and June Carter Classic, ‘Jackson.’ The show first aired June 7, 2002.

Nelson played an electric guitar throughout the night instead of his battered classical acoustic, dubbed “Trigger.” (Crow said her instruments have no names, but she might refer to them as “my little money makers.”) “My guitar,” Nelson explained, “is on the way to Amsterdam [for a European tour]. I am following soon behind.” (www.cmt.com)

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

I don’t know if this is playing your PBS station, but “Chet Atkins: Certified Guitar Player” is on the schedule for many PBS stations tonight.

This is a 1987 Nashville tribute concert to Atkins, and in addition to Willie Nelson, it features Mark Knopfler, The Everly Brothers, Emmylou Harris, Michael McDonald, and Waylon Jennings, backed by Nashville studio musicians. The video documents the importance of Chet Atkins to country music, and includes interview of Chet and some of the artists.
