      Trigger is the guitar's name. It is a Martin N 20 and Willie has been playing it since 1969. It goes with him everywhere.

    And to think Kris doubted his singing ability and his equal stature within the group. He belongs on the Country Mount Rushmore as much as his heroes.

    A sad day for those who listened to Kris Kristofferson for decades. Going back to the college days of laying on the floor in the hot apartment and listening to Kris who dragged us into a poetic trance. He's so brilliant and yet so humble. May his family find peace in the days and years to come, and thank you for sharing your special husband and father with the world. We are a better place for his never ending genius in the world of the Arts. (He clearly respected those that helped pave the way for his never ending talents).

    The life of Kris is an example to everyone to follow your follow your dreams, to turn your back on a successful army career, give it all up to work as a janitor to try and meet Johnny Cash and hopefully get him to sing his songs. His music has been part of my life since 1970 and I feel blessed to have heard it.

Now he's the only one left and I have lost my father as well.

    There will only be one Willie. What a national treasure. COPD has him in its throes, and yet he’s still out there at 91. I’m so glad I’ve gotten to see him live when he was in much better health.

    My oldest Son, a Teacher , took off for a short while doing the music scene . In his doing this I got to meet several Stars . I had the privilege of meeting Kris back stage! He is just as humble as he acts! He acted as if he was so glad to meet me!This was in Dallas! Later a show from Baylor University I had a great visit with Dolly!Such a nice Lady! Had pictures made with her! My husband had his picture made with her. A great picture plus the next year she was back in Dallas , my Son had her autograph the picture with his Dad! We idolize and love these people which is so nice ! They have talents maybe that we do not have but other than that they have a Mom and Dad a life not that much different than ours! My Son later went back to teaching! Now retired. I will never forget meeting some of these people , knowing they forgot me in10 minutes! It was fun while it lasted!

    These guys are all legends in their own right, all capable of packing a venue solo, yet their love for music and mutual respect and love for one another was more important that solo accolades. Thank you, guys.

    OK. I like the Eagles and lots of other groups, for that matter. But these guys never fought with each other. They all respect each other's talent. When Waylon claps for Willie, it is a class act. I come back to this over and over; wish I had seen them altogether live; I've been fortunate enough to see Waylon twice and Willie four times, and I am grateful for that. Kris is such a great song writer, and I've always loved Johnny. Together, they are incredible. Thank you for posting this.

      I kind of like to think it's because the highwaymen, for the most part, started out as friends and respected each other vs the eagles where Frey and Henley were friends but the whole idea of the eagles was commercial, which is why they went through a few members

    That awestruck look of "Damn, Wille! Sing it, brother!" from Kris is just priceless. This is country music that just can't be matched by music nowadays.

    Kristofferson is an Absolute Master. His timeless, simple, perfect melodies and heartfelt, relatable lyrics command a large space in the library of contemporary and specifically "American" music. 🙏❤️ Enough can never be said.
