They were more my fathers generation of music but I had to make an exception from my rock and roll when it comes to Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash. Willie has written many good books that I have read, also. Love ya, Willie.
@@karenmilligan5597 because guys like Willie and Johnny and Waylon May be country artists but they cross over all genres due to their immense talent and message.
I love you Willie. Thank You for giving us the beautiful, beautiful music. You're one of the last of "our" kind. It's been a wild ride, hasnt it? You won't be forgotten. 💙 💙 💙
This is truer now more than ever, having just lost the legendary Kristofferson, we need to appreciate Willie for as long as we can and then some. He’s the last Highwayman now, but they’ll always be around.
Well, Johnny's voice definitely was inherited by Thomas Gabriel (his oldest grandson). Also Whey Jennings aint that far from Waylon either. Don't know if Kris and Willie have any musician grandkids.
@@kjn5991 Willie's sons are best of those kids i have to say. Lukas Nelson is the best. You have to try him, he's like different version of his father Willie. Also his brother Micah Nelson called Particle kid is incredible. 😁😁
He played this song first time live at 6th of September at Somerset, WI. The song wasn't officially published that time. Nobody was preaperd for that. I heard the crowd started crying in silence. Man, that was hard.
Thank you Willie....my wonderful husband of 46 years and he was the oldest son in his family and his 2 younger brothers passed away years ago and he has 1 sister that's older then him....his older sister and I cried when we listened to this. Thank you for the many many wonderful memories and songs you have BLESSED us with over the years. ♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏
I am 74 and have loved him since his television debut so many many ( many) years ago. Honored to have attended 4 of his concerts...his music comforts me. Time has slipped away. ,🤍🕊️
It's incredible that Willie still can play with his fingers like that. Sure, it's not what it used to be back in the day, but even younger guitarists suffer from arthritis or similar around 70 and he is 92?
"I'll be here through eternity. If you want to know how long, if they cut down this tree, I'll come back in a song. I'm the last leaf on the tree." Hallelujah! God bless Willie Nelson.
Last leaf, uh huh, ok, Willie. I hear you. Still I feel you sparkling like a diamond. Better than diamond. A diamond with a great, big, amazing, heart.
So glad I got to spend time with you, Willie. A couple of my friends and I spent time with you and your family (band members) many times and I'm always glad to see you on TV or on you tube. Have always loved you. You are amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
I remember my gramma Shirley telling me about how she didn't wanna live long because she would be alone Shirley was the last leaf on the tree I'm dong my best without her, This song makes me want to call my family
Beautiful, and very appropriate version of a great Tom Waits song. I sang it in Greenwich Village at a club about ten years ago. One of my favorites- a real gut wrencher.
Thanks for the music willie!….I’ve always enjoyed your special way of playing trigger with his nylon reins …spectacular…..long live the highwaymen!….Barry k Ontario 🇨🇦
Such a fine, fine example of the best mankind has to offer. We are going to miss you so much Willie, it will be like when we lost Dad and then twenty years later, Mom.
I try and listen every day he’s been my favorite for many years a little bit older, but not much I’m 86 this year. Losing his best friend last of the Mohicans he is he is very special.
Willie is so loved because he just keeps being himself. He may have stumbled from time to time, but he was always himself. Much love for him and his great songwriting. God Love Ya
I have no words...his son just sitting there watching him😢...God bless you sir!!! "If they cut down this tree...I'll come back in a song!!! Wow!! Can't love that enough!!!
A true definition of a legend and at 90 still dedicated to his craft. So privileged to have seen him live 4 times and my wife got his autograph which is cherished ❤
I know I’ll never get to see you live but you feel like a part of me, my life and who I’ve become. I learned to love your music because my grandpa was a country music fan. He’s the reason why I love old/classic country. You’re one of the greats Willie. I dread the day we don’t have you anymore ❤️
Kris,Johnny,Waylon and Ole Merle,Just Willie left,brings tears to my eyes
He knew .. ❤😢
I’m with you 🥲
They were more my fathers generation of music but I had to make an exception from my rock and roll when it comes to Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash.

Amen brother!

Yes I bet it was what a journey for this man@@minnesotaihighwayman1171
@minnesotaihighwayman1171 not as hard as getting out of that parking lot... took me like 3 hours
En av de största legenderna inom musiken och en äkta rebell! Glad att han fortfarande är i livet! ❤🙏

Nuff Said. 👍
Willie Nelson is an icon the last Highway Man and the last true Outlaw. ❤
It'll be a sad day in American music history when Willie passes. He will be eternal.
You may well be the last leaf but you are still the best leaf and a man of deep integrity. I love you Willie. ❤
@@MissyStaples.68 AMEN to that.
The world has heard you Willie, you done good work.
I love you, Willie. Thank you for putting joy into my life
I didn't expect to hear such a strong voice.
I've loved you for more than 50 years. Beautiful man!

Stay strong, Red Headed Stranger.
It’s a cover of a Tom Waits song
Willie Nelson is still alive. Holy crap.

I love seeing Willie enjoy his audiences still. And they more than enjoy him now. Its a special bond.
Wow... this is amazing, Willie. God bless you.

We've been blessed.
Love you Willie! ❤ You May be the last , but you will always Be REMEMBERED !!
