Happy 91st Birthday to Willie Nelson!  His birthday is today . . . and tomorrow.  Yes, that's right…Willie was born in Abbott, Texas on April 29th, 1933 but very late at night.  He said  "I was born before midnight on the 29th but it didn't get registered in the county courthouse, until the next day.  So, it went out officially as the 30th.  So, I just do both days."

Tornadoes on Friday have caused so much damage to the midwest.  One of the first cities to get hit was Omaha, Nebraska.  Zach Bryan made a statement in support of the victims, since he used to live there. He says, quote, "I want to offer some honest prayers and hopes to the communities affected . . . The band and I are standing with you guys as we are playing some shows in Omaha . . . we love you so much and we'll do all we can to help."  He didn’t just make the “statement” He actually showed up to help in the affected area!!
