Willie Nelson turns 80 years old today. The "red-headed stranger" started making music in the 1950s then wrote hits for Patsy Cline and Ray Price in the '60s before becoming a superstar in the '70s. We're celebrating this morning with a set of his music, his collaborations, duets and others covering his songs. What would you like to hear? Leave your suggestion along with your first name and town in the comments below.
Here's what we played:

Something special this way comes...tonight at 10 on The Alternate Side!
Richie Havens was a friend of WFUV, but also the folk community and, thanks to his iconic performance at Woodstock, the whole world. His passing on April 22 of a heart attack at age 72 was profoundly sad for his many fans. I think of Richie as both a mensch and a mystic - with a down-to-earth sense of humor and yet cosmic wisdom. He was a generous, open-hearted man and one of the most riveting performers you'll ever see.
