Only just alive here, been belted all over the place, by SARS-CoV-2, dont fall for the its not so bad media mantra these days, am 68 and its worked me over. Back to 'no wrong was a standout for my band in the day these versions a bit too rocky for the times later 70's, chord crashing was the flavor for inner city gigs, followed up with Holiday in the Sun, then God save Betty... punters went wild... also in the day out here anything Easybeats, Sorry a standout for us. Back to my slow recovery misery... a gig in 10 days... give me strength...j

Happy 90th birthday Willie! He did a lot of versions of this song, this one is from 1979.

Another Willie, this time a Kris Kristofferson song:
Probably one of the saddest songs ever written!
Many years ago I was a helicopter mechanic in the Eugene Island block in the Gulf of Mexico and our platform EI259 was the same one Kristofferson worked from when he was a pilot for Petroleum Helicopters Inc. on his separation from the Army. According to Wikipedia, he wrote, among other songs, Bobbie McGee and Help Me Make It Through the Night on that rig and in the same room I shared with my pilot.

That was great! Where the F where they playing?
Molly Tuttle is well worth following on you tube. Time and again, making a real difference to perception of modern performers, in any era she is/would be a standout, seems her brother on Banjo also, more of the same caliber, natural talent, easy and hard won earned.
Glad you liked the clip and location, done on one microphone by the way, the behind scene folk of equal measure to the performers, high standard for others to note, that are able to note, what is true worthy endeavors, no studio tricks required, be best of self. Only a low step here to the soap box.... j

I bought a couple of Molly’s records to listen to on the plane to Europe tonight. Thanks for the tip! Here is a blend of yesterday’s birthday boy and some more bluegrass. Willie and Billy with my own new personal theme song. Since I gave up alcohol a few years back, I too, have been California Sober.
