to all those of you who think country music is uncool: look at this man's face. i defy any rapper, hip-hopper or alt-rocker to even try to be as cool as willie, or merle or johnny. it's not going to happen. i've been a long time willie nelson fan (truly one of the greatest songwriters and my favorite guitarist, to boot) and was overwhelmed with joy at the opportunity to take this shot - even though i had a mere ten minutes with the guy! tommy jordan and i regularly exchange willie nelson albums, and tommy even brought me back a feather from willie nelson's peacock when he was recording at the studio on willie's ranch one summer. now, to be complete as a photographer and fan, all i need to get is lyle lovett.
