Hot Springs Welcomes Country Legend Willie Nelson, By Leroy Worley
Country Music Legend - Wilie Nelson - Among the acts scheduled to perform this year in Hot Springs is a Country Legend; Wilie Nelson! In Mid-Feb, Willie will play the Summit Arena in Hot Springs, and prices range from the mid $30's to $55, which is an affordable price for a top name concert these days. His distinctive music and other social and political
activities sometimes take a back seat to his pop-culture public
image, marked by his red hair, often divided into two long braids
partially concealed under a bandana.
He has been active in social
and political causes ranging from tax protests to support for a
Democratic effort in the mid-2000s to bust up a Republican
gerrymandering attempt in Texas.
Nelson was raised in Abbott, Texas, the son of Myrle Marie (née Greenhaw) and Ira Doyle Nelson, who was a mechanic and pool hall owner.
His grandparents, William Alfred Nelson and Nancy Elizabeth Smothers, gave him mail-order music lessons starting at age 6.
He wrote his first song when he was 7 and was playing in a local band at age 9.
Willie played the guitar, while his sister Bobbie played the piano.
He met Bud Fletcher, a fiddler, and two siblings joined his band, Bohemian Fiddlers, while Nelson was in high school.
