Willie's amazing Tour Bus, side view on 51st Street, NYC
Willie's amazing Tour Bus, back view replete with his visage, 51st Street, NYCRay Price sang Night Life, by Willie Nelson (who really writes the songs the whole world sings--screw Barry Manilow), and it was fantastic. 81 years old! I don't need to say anything else, other than he was singing my song. Ok, one other thing: Merle Haggard (incidentally, not a fan of George W. Bush) was amazing too.
Night Life by Willie Nelson
When the evenin' sun goes down
You will find me hangin' 'round
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
Many people just like me
Dreamin' of old used-to-be's
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
Ah, but it's my life
Listen to the blues that they're playin'
Listen what the blues are sayin'
Life is just another scene
In this old world of broken dreams
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
Oh, the night life ain't no good life
Oh, but it's my life
Yeah, it's my life
You will find me hangin' 'round
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
Many people just like me
Dreamin' of old used-to-be's
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
Ah, but it's my life
Listen to the blues that they're playin'
Listen what the blues are sayin'
Life is just another scene
In this old world of broken dreams
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
Oh, the night life ain't no good life
Oh, but it's my life
Yeah, it's my life

There is a greasy restaurant in Austin, Texas called Ciscos on far E. Sixth Street, away from the turistas on the west side of I-35. The front room is full of winos and grifters but there is a large well decorated back dining room. I used to eat breakfast migas, a tortilla, cheese, egg and jalepeno cassarole, there as often as I could. Willies' bus as well as the bus for the Gatlin Brothers was often parked on the side street as they loved the migas, too. I'm glad you posted these pictures, Anne. It brings back a lot of good memories
