Willie Nelson asked Musician Tom Conway to play with him at the fundraiser concert for gubernatorial candidate Neil Abercrombie last Tuesday, August 24th. Tom invited musicians Marcus Johnson, on bass, and Paul Marchetti, on drums. (The harp player just invited himself on stage for the song. His mic’s not on, though.)
Tom’s wife Sandra took this video of Willie and Tom performing, ‘On the Road Again.’ Tom learned the harmony lead part that Willie used to do with Jody Payne on this song, and when Willie hears him play it, Willie turns towards Tom and plays it with him. It’s so fun. Tom works so hard to prepare to play with Willie when he invites him. Thank you Sandra and Tom.
Tom Conway has a website at www.TomConwayguitar.com, and you can hear music from his new album — and buy a copy directly from the site. Willie Nelson performs on Tom’s album, on the song written by Willie and daughter Amy Nelson, ‘A Peaceful Solution.’
Thanks Sandra, for sharing this video. Tom, You sound GREAT!!!! I would just love to hear you & Willie playing together!
