Thanks for this, TC. Couldn't sleep. Got up and read this magnificent article. I've always loved Willie Nelson. Now even more.

Sometimes, a song is passed on to me that I was meant to listen to. Because it’s part of me. I cried with joy listening to “Energy Follows Thought” on this rainy day.

Thank you, TC.

The cover art with him walking in the Light with his guitar reminds me of the same Light that Joni Mitchell often walked in penning lyrics from her soul.

Be the Light, Sisters and Brothers. 🗽🌈

TC, You surprised me this morning and because of you I started my day with Willy Nelson. There is another quality to his new album 'A Beautiful Time'. It comes with age. Thank you, TC, for taking me to the music.

Allen, I have missed you. It's my fault because I haven't taken the time to figure out how to respond on your blog.

You are almost as cute as Grayden. I love the family pictures...and of your very handsome dog. You two do not look alike. How is Tanya? I follow what's going on in the Ukraine. My dear husband, Mark, died in October, 2018. He was born is Odessa. The family left Ukraine when he was a few months old. There hasn't been any family in the country for more than ninety years. There was practically no talk about Odessa. This in not the time and place to go into any more detail, but I wanted to give you sense of my strong attachment to your country. On the other hand, given my predisposition, I would probably feel the same about Ukraine if there was no personal association to the country. Your blog brings me close to you, your family and Ukraine. Thank you Allen. I'll share a few thoughts about the USA when we make contact again.

Allen, All the companies you mentioned are owned by FB/META. I am an anti-FB. Let's find another option. Tied up at the moment. Want to find a way. Cheers!

Hi Allen. I'm not on Instagram. Does that matter? If it does not matter and no hassles for me, I'll be happy to. Just confirm. Sounds as though you found a way for us to communicate. Thanks. Fern

You can try. I am on Instagram as theblogfodder. If that doesn't work, we'll think of something

I agree. Grayden looks more like Mishel's son at the same age. You should be able to comment as anonymous if you include your name then I will know who. Tanya is doing OK. Lucky is glad she is home. So far our community is safe. But the carnage in Ukraine is so sad.

I had read the article. Willie is a great talent and hard worker. Must say I terribly miss Merle, the Possum, Waylon, Conway and so many more. Thank god we hav a younger Vince taking up the slack.

I read The NY Times article the day it was published. Jody Rosen was masterful in telling readers who Willie Nelson is, and the photos were outstanding.

Thank you, sir, for letting us into your thoughts. It's a privilege and a joy.
