An offering and some news:
Willie Nelson is awesome, but there’s no version without Paul Simon. Just ignore the Jew and concentrate on the Texan.
Also: images are now enabled in the Comment Section, and there’s a new e-mail notification plug-in. You might have to sign up again, and you can do so in the sidebar.
Willie’s phrasing is surprisingly similar to the original. Interesting. Usually he puts more of his own stamp on the vocal. Great though

I’m throwing in the towel……
I don’t think you can link an image. Try saving it to your computer and uploading from there?
Ahh okay. Don’t mind me, I get confused by the Keurig machine.
Dude, you’re telling me. I’ve gone thru five of those damn “user-friendly” coffee machines.
I’m on my tablet thingy right now in the barn……. I’m going to try this on the laptop.
use the “upload” button below the text box – might be labelled “browse” or “choose file” or something dependent on your browser
like coach says, “keep skatin’, keep checkin’, you can’t get that frikken puck outta yer own end…..YOU EAT IT!!!!!……can’t score a goal if yer sittin’ on yer ass”, Spencer

When Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel made early-60s teen rock and roll singles, they used the name “Tom And Jerry.” Who was Tom, who was Jerry?
paul was jerry? i wish it was artie.
This one is interesting, and I decided I liked it after awhile

I love this one
…but THIS one is stupendous.
There are also versions with Emmylou on vocals, and they are good too
But this one is where it’s at. Lanois is such an underrated guitar player! And obviously Willie’s voice suits this song better than anyone’s (except Garcia).

whoaaaa!
seriously
I will figure this out…or go use the laptop
Won’t accept pics from tablet because they are jpeg not jpg. Hmm, wish my wife wasn’t away on business……..
Try renaming the file and see if that works. Just change the .jpeg to.jpg. Usually works for me.
Thanks man, I think that will do it ! I wiped my bulbous brow, smashed it with a mammoth tusk and now it’s a png?
Png should work.
On the laptop I can convert them to jpg like you said(thanks) it’s the tablet that has me fubared.
I don’t have a tablet, so I am no help here.
.jpg to or from .jpeg is not conversion, just renaming.
jpg to .gif to .png is conversion and would take some application that allows “save as” or “export”

Not in the same league as Mr. Completely’s choices, but nice to see Willie rebelling against that late 70s rhinestone cowboy nonsense. Plus I’m dancing like the old guy behind him now that I am a computer genius!?
I’m a huge fan of those classic era Willie releases – Shotgun Willie, Red Headed Stranger and the rest…this is a great, classic song, love it
His version of That Lucky Old Sun is also really exceptional, just to stick to Garcia related tunes…there’s a version he did with Leon Russell too, but that one’s too busy for me

Neat stuff. I wonder if he has any of Cliff Antone, the owner of Antone’s in Austin (now passed). He was a good friend of my dad’s, a force in the bluesy side of the Austin music scene (patron of the Vaughn brothers for example), a bit of a Belushi look-alike and an affiliate of the infamous Free Mexican Air Force, which was a real thing & not just something Red Rowan made up
Belushi indeed.
One more heavy hitting Willie interpretation for ya. I love him so much I don’t really know how to explain it.
Have you been half asleep?
And have you heard voices?
I’ve heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound
That called the young sailors?
The voice might be one in the same
