Lefty's guitar sat in the Country Music Hall of Fame for many years. I hope it is taken out and played. Often. I believe I saw Merle Haggard playing it once!!

Willie Nelson

I love Willie Nelson because...
a) he plays a beautiful guitar
b) he writes and sings great songs
c) he looks like my Mini Schnauzer who's name oddly enough is Willie Nelson;
d) all of the above!!
