Mezmerising- I have to post this

[Gdjjr]

This video (and his appearance at the CMA awards show when he did Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain) made a believer of me.
I've seen him in person a few times, combining that with this particular video is what made me find that word - mesmerizing-

full disclosure: I figured it out years ago, (mesmerizing), but it just came back to me recently- mesmerizing- he does that to an audience.
People are captivated by his style and stage presence, but, I think his stage presence is just an extension of who he is as a person.
I read his book, Me and Sister Bobbi, which validates that opinion- he is the real deal. This particular video also gives Bobbi an opportunity to shine on the piano- as well as the harmonica player, Mickey Raphael-

Trigger- a story about probably the most well recognized guitar in History

I knew some of this a lot of it is new to me- after some 10,000 shows, recording sessions, jam sessions, songwriting sessions, and guitar pulls, most taking place amid a haze of tobacco and reefer smoke and carried out with a particular brand of string-pounding, neck-throttling violence—the...

Seen him in concert and I agree less is better it was a terrific and enjoyable concert. He like interacting with the audience and his music was clear and no need for special effects or blasting the music loudly as possible. Emmy Lou Harris and Nash Ramblers was the opening act.

Willie is Willie. I know that sounds absurd, but no other description is adequate.
