The years have been good to Willie

Here's Willie Nelson at the Grand Ole Opry in 1965*. Button-down shirt, sharkskin suit and all. He is unrecognizable, except for the amazing talent. I like the current version better.

Notice, too, the fans people are using in the auditorium.



*The youtube link says the appearance was in 1965. The announcer, however, refers to Willie's "new album." And Then I Wrote was released in 1962.
