A lucky hat in Luck, Texas

Wednesday, April 6th, 2016

Willie Nelson wore this lucky Willie Nelson fan’s hat when he tossed it to him on stage at the Luck Reunion Chef’s Potluck concert. And he got the hat back! Sometimes, even when Willie tries to toss back to the original owner, another fan catches it and claim ownership, and it’s hard for them to let go of their prize catch.  I get it. (I could tell you stories of some of the battles over bandannas we have seen, but that’s another story.) This time, there was no problem and the hat was returned to the owner. He said the two fans took pictures together with the hat.

I see these guys everywhere!   Willie Nelson fans are the greatest.

Dinner With Willie Nelson: Chef’s Pot Luck @Luck Reunion (Stories and photos by The Simple Sol)

It isn’t a secret that I love Willie Nelson and when I got invited to a dinner he was hosting on his iconic Luck, TX ranch outside of Austin it was the perfect excuse to escape after three crazy days of SXSW. It was an intimate gathering and truly a hidden gem tucked away from the downtown hustle and bustle, apparently Adrian Grenier thought so too —  he was sitting across the table from me.  It was also the kick-off for Willie’s one-day music festival, Luck Reunion, held the next day.  Sadly I didn’t get to take part in the festival because I was in Mexico City.

Lukas Nelson and Lily Meola, GoPro Video of the Day

Lukas Nelson and Lily Meola teamed up for an acoustic rendition of “The Sound of Your Memory” during Willie Nelson’s Luck Reunion earlier this month.

Earlier this month, the Nelson family invited dozens of musicians and fans to Luck Ranch, their private property in the middle of Texas’ beautiful hill country. Just hours before rain and lightning came down upon the festival, the pair came together for a stripped-down performance of “The Sound of Your Memory”, a track featured on Willie’s 2012 album Heroes.

The duo stood in front of Nelson’s vintage tour bus, which greeted visitors as they drove up the winding dirt road to the festival gates. Maui native Meola brings a smooth and jazzy tone to the reminiscent track, which usually has a slightly grittier feel. While it’s difficult for anyone to elevate a Willie Nelson song – much less a 20-year-old newcomer – Meola’s impressive vocal abilities manage to bring the song to a brand new level.

Both Nelson and Meola ended up joining in for a few songs during Willie’s star-studded finale set during this year’s Luck Reunion. The rain-shortened event also featured appearances from dozens of country artists, including Sam Outlaw, Andrew Combs and Billy Joe Shaver. You can read our full report from the festival here.
