Cover Up! Crazy Edition

I don't think Miss Patsy needs much of an introduction. She was clearly heaven sent.
Willie Nelson wrote this song for her, and no one else can sing it like she did.

"Crazy"
Patsy Cline



BUT, these three? Don't mind hearing them doing their version at all! Diana Krall is amazing, and I have always loved Willie Nelson. I first fell in love with him as a little girl, Stardust was a favorite album at our house. (I have mentioned it before, and I'll say it again. Willie Nelson kissed me. Kissed me! Just stopped signing autographs, turned his back on about 150 clamoring fans, and turned around when I asked him to sign a hat and kissed my face!) Sorry, back to business. Elvis Costello sounds like he was always meant to sing this song. Diana looks at him when he's doing his solo, and right then you can tell how head over heels she is. Those two are madly in love, and it is written all over their faces, isn't it?

Willie Nelson kissed me.

This is footage from a Highwaymen concert. I'd give my right foot to have the opportunity to go to one of these shows now. I mean really, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, and Waylon Jennings? All together? Dang! I'll just have to be satisfied with the fact that Willie gave me a kiss once. I am not going to wash the magic off, cause Mr.Nelson is a genius. My friend Christina and I asked him to sign a hat for us, and he turned away from everyone else in the crowd and planted a big smacker on each of us. Clearly this song is about me.
