Another cool one. Willie Nelson playing Nuages on his famous dog-eared Martin 000. That kind of looks like David Grier on rhythm guitar but it's hard to tell with youtube quality video.
You get one chance to enjoy this day, but if you're doing it right, that's enough.
Thanks for those clips, guys... The first one put a smile on my mug and the second reminded how much Willie has always admired Django. A few years ago I was jammin with Willie's first boss and I happened to start the opening licks of "Nuages." In no time Johnny and Dick Gimble, as well as several assorted Texas pickers jumped in and "a splendid time was had by ALL!" We finished our jam with "Minor Swing."
BTW: Here's a little background on Willie's Martin N-20, aka "Trigger":
