Good afternoon, Houston!

Thoughts today are with the great Willie Nelson, who is missing the first three shows of the 2024 Outlaw Music Festival Tour to rest after not feeling well in recent days. 

Filling in for Nelson, who turned 91 in April, is his son Lukas and Nelson's touring band. Let's hope the four days of rest ordered by his doctor help to a speedy recovery.
