This Saturday, April 26th, it is Willie Nelson‘s 75th birthday. Now, I know you were wondering what you were going to do for the occasion. Will it be a “pot” luck? A hair braiding party? A karaoke evening? Look no further. The Bicentennial Theatre in Middle Musquodoboit will play host to a Willie Nelson tribute night, where a chap by the name of Alex Madsen (aka “Little Willie”) will performing a full-band tribute to his musical hero, with over 30 favorite Willie Nelson songs. I don’t normally promote events outside of the downtown core, but something about this just made me smile. And also made me start singing “Whiskey River“.
