One more before last call. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Willie Nelson and his son Lukas Nelson performing together.

Hit it, boys.

Thanks, Darlin'.

Looks like Lucas got his daddy's guitar picking skills but not his voice. I'm not sure the kid could make it on his own as a singer.
He could make it as a blues guitarist though. He's very good, isn't he?

He needs to leave out looking like he's having an epileptic seizure, though.

I agree. He's trying to look "soulful" and it doesn't look natural on him. That always bugs me about some guitarists.

Good one, Bob. Ifound this video of the whole Nelson family

Damn. He's a good blues guitarist! I mean, really good. Not much of a voice, true, but somehow he puts me in mind of Howlin' Wolf's....well.....howling. HW is one of my favorite blues guys ever.

On the contrary, I think his moves are probably natural, simply because they are a tad bizarre. Remember Joe Cocker? Plus, God help me if anybody spied me jammin' to the music while I'm cleaning house.....they'd probably call 911!

I just went looking for some Howlin' Wolf, and guess whose video was plucked down right underneath a HW video? Yup....a piece by Lukas Nelson.

Holy flippin' cow....did I say Lukas has some bizarre moves? The boy could make his own exercise tape and reap millions. Here is is a'movin' and a 'shakin', to include playing his guitar with his teeth.

EDIT: I've been doing some research on Lukas Nelson. He has had his own band, Promise of the Real, since 2008. He's only 23 now. It looks like his band is up-and-coming, and I'm sure we'll see more of them in the future.

I watched a short interview of Lukas before one of his shows. This boy is both shy and humble. He kept picking at his pants and fiddling with his fingers during the interview, and the interviewer had to really try in the beginning to get more than one word answers out of him.

Alas, the lad admits during the interview that alcohol and dope are problems for him. That's sad, given his age, and understandable, given his heritage. He mentioned he quit the pot and stopped drinking anything except an occasional glass of wine or a beer after the "Throwdown" tour he went on with his dad. He said everybody involved referred to it as the "Throwup" tour.

His band's song "Amazing Grace/Wasted" is worth a listen. Very, very good.

“Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.”

I hope that Lucas is through with the drugs and drinking. Old Willie already lost one child, Billy, to drugs and alcohol. He hanged himself several years back. I'd seen him on a TV show with his dad the year before and they sang "Family Bible" together, but Billy could hardly remember the words. He was so stoned during the show he could hardly speak. It's a shame so many children of celebrities wind up so messed up. I guess it's just too much money and too little to do. I'm not sure how many kids Willie has though. I know it's a whole bunch.

On edit: I looked online and saw that he has had 7 kids and four wives. One of the kids, Billy, is deceased. There's also a character online who calls himself Eddie Lee and claims to be Willie Nelson's illegitimate son. There's nothing in the official biography about him though. I wonder if he's some nut out there imagining things. I can't imagine WN being shy about saying he had a kid outside of marriage. He sure admits everything else.

It just so happens,, we chose not to discuss me publically many years ago. Yes, my dad is Willie Nelson. With just one more click you could of gone to many sites with my stories, songs or bio. Check me out at Eddie Lee son of Willie Nelson on Facebook and my Wordpress site. And no,, my dad is not obligated to explain his personal life to the public no more than you are, regardless of how much he has freely shared.

Has your father helped you? You need some better material if you want to make it. You do sound like him,though.
