Share your story if you've ever met Willie Nelson.

We've heard a lot of stories from fans who've met Willie Nelson after being in business for over 30 years. It's amazing how many times people stop in the Museum and talk about these adventures. Many of them have a similar theme - that Willie seemed genuinely interested in them and he was so "down to earth".

People tell us they've met him at a concert, in a bar, at a friends house, in a hotel and on and on.... because many of these stories are so interesting (and entertaining) we thought it would be great to offer people a chance to share them with a lot of other fans here on the website.
