This weekend marks Willie Nelson’s 90th birthday and I certainly couldn’t let that go unremarked. There will be a two-day, star-studded bash/concert at the Hollywood Bowl (at which Willie will also perform! Amazing!). “Funny How Time Slips Away” seemed appropriate as my tribute here for a couple of reasons: first, because of Willie’s age, and second, because it was one of the songs that launched his songwriting career. First released by country singer Billy Walker in 1961, the song has been covered by a host of others, including Brenda Lee, Elvis Presley, and Al Green. Happy Birthday, Willie!
