Willie Nelson
On the Road Again with… Willie! We visit with Willie Nelson on the tour bus and learn about his early gigs in Texas polka music, his teenage days as a radio host doing the early morning farm report, and the fact that even when in the driveway at home in Texas, he sleeps on the bus! Blues, country, soul, jazz,Western swing and Tejano music surround our conversation with one of America’s musical kings of the road.
