Hive Open Mic #147 - On the Road Again (Willie Nelson)

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


For this week's theme "Grateful Heart" I've already seen some fabulous entries covering different ideas for this subject as it's another one of those, that leave some room for interpretation.

I'd like to share my version of Willie Nelson's classic tune "On the Road Again", as I am grateful to have so many wonderful friends that I can make music with!

Joining the Arlesey Jammers a few years back greatly impacted my playing and singing, and still does; some of them are on Hive, namely @steevc, @todayslight , @purplesinger and @daniellemurray , and now as a new addition @steve-o2023.
We meet up on a regular basis, inspiring each other with things to try out and new songs to play.

Having been introduced to Hive last year has given me yet more inspiration, and that not just in the area of music, but many, many others, and for that I am grateful too!

I hope, you like my version of this classic song, which is another one supported by one of my harmonicas.

Thanks for listening! 😃

Nice! Willie is a hometown hero here in Austin, Texas. We have an amazing statue in his honor, along with one of the prominent roads downtown. He is a living legend. Thanks for appreciating this song and carrying it in a good way. Excellent choice for this week's theme.

That's amazing, Cabe!
I've just had a look, the detail of it is absolutely beautiful! I can't stop looking at it.
People who can create such art amaze me, just like your graphics!

How about this guitar made from chocolate, which lives on my bookshelf? Looks a bit like his.. I feel a trip to Texas coming on.. haha

I'm so glad you like my version! Have a lovely day!

Such a nice song. Will your guitar ever get as worn out as Willie's? You would think he could afford a new one.

!LUV

😂 I'm sure he could!! haha
Thanks, Steve!

Fantastic rendition Anke.

Thank you, Barb!!

Loving This!

Are you planning a trip? Great rendition of this very carefree number. Well sung and played as ever!

😄 Yeah, why not.. taking that boat there..
Thanks, Danielle!

Lovely version.
Like the way the harmonica blends with the guitar..
Lovely vocal too.

Well, thank you so much!
Not at my best yet, still trying to get rid off a cough.
Glad you like it. 😀

Ah excellent! It's rare to find other musicians who play harmonica on a rack along with guitar, but you did great! Fantastic, energetic performance all around!

Thanks, Jasper!
I love this song, I guess that's what comes through, so much fun to play! And I feel I'm getting more confident playing both..
Thanks for giving it a listen! 😀

Your presentation was fascinating. My whole body enjoyed it. You are an incredible instrumentalist, I congratulate you for so much talent.

And you appear to be writer as well as an exceptional singer!
I'll have to give that a closer look.. 😉
Thank you so much, I'm honoured!

Wao!! How on earth were you able to do that, combining the mouth organ and the guitar and then singing so fine. You are amazing @anna-newkey . I love this entry

Haha, just sweat and tears, sweat and tears!
You should try it! But you are quite a fine artist yourself to which I clearly must pay more attention! 😉
Thank you very much, my friend!

You are welcome ma

This is so lovely...on the road again, you play strings so fantastic, even the harmonica...wow and your voice is top-notch
Just wondering how you do it...being in the rhythm...On the road again, Bravo 👏

Hey there, thank you!
It takes a little practice for sure and I can assure, it doesn't sound pretty to begin with.. 😄
Thank you so much for watching it! That's brilliant!

Such a stellar performance... you're such a pro at what you do, cheers 🥂

Ideal dedication for all your musical friends! Very favorite song, although at the same time it gives me a little bittersweet feeling of nostalgia! Kisses!

Hello there, Giorgos!
Nice of you to stop by and giving it a listen!
Bittersweet? 🤔
Hm, the "..seeing things that I may never see again.." gets to me every time..
that could fall in that category.
Your beautiful Greece for example.. that DOES need a re-visit.
Hugs!
