Guitarist Billy Gibbons says there's a chance the Texas music icons will share the stage.
Nelson is just days shy of turning 90. Gibbons is 73. At this stage in their long careers, this weekend’s concerts take on deeply special meaning for musician and fan alike.
For Nelson, it was the death last year of his older sister and pioneering honky tonk pianist Bobbie Lee Nelson. She was the first member of the Family band. “That might could be a cool collaboration,” he said, but “nothing’s quite carved in stone or even planned in advance. Spontaneity prevails at each encounter and makes the happening quite genuine. We’ll await to make discovery of what might lay in the cards.”Ronald W. Erdrich/Associated Press
“I love to see people still doing it,” said Augie Meyers, the legendary San Antonio musician who played with the Sir Douglas Quintet and Texas Tornados.
