Willie Nelson's 3rd 4th of July Picnic

July 4th, 1975, Liberty Hill, Texas. . Pam & I were backstage for this epic event. It was still pretty small back then. Waylon Jennings is on stage. Willie’s band had a small camper. That’s Mickey Raefeal, Willie’s harmonica player, with the dark hair by the door. Paul English, Willie’s drummer, is seen chatting backstage.

I know what you’re thinking. You’re saying, Peter, why only a dozen images from a star studded event? People saw my camera and thought I was a narc. I thought it advisable to tone it down a bit. I was Pam’s date. We went to high school with Bud. C.J. and I played in a garage band together a few years before this.
