@w7voa Amazing. Tremendous.

I was just thinking about him today because he wrote one of my favorite tunes, "Crazy", most famously and brilliantly performed by Patsy Cline.

Yeah, recorded in 1961 by Patsy Cline, in one take, no multitracking, no overdubbing. Nelson wrote the tune in less than an hour. This is musical genius at work, both Nelson and Cline. And there he his. I wish I could meet him, look into his eyes, just because. I like geniuses.
