Artistfacts:
| Nelson thought he was born on April 30, 1933, but he discovered late in life from an elderly relative that he was actually born just before midnight on the 29th and the doctor didn't record his time of birth accurately. Now, Willie celebrates both days. |
| He and his sister Bobbie were raised by their paternal grandparents, who proved to be very influential in developing their love for music. Their grandparents taught them guitar and piano, respectively, with the help of mail-order music lessons. |
| Nelson wrote his first poem around age 4. He began playing guitar (a Sears Stella) at age 6 and shortly thereafter began putting melodies together with his poems. By age 9 was playing in a band with his sister. (thanks, Peaches - Tough Broadsville, GA, for all above) |
| Willie didn't always pay his taxes, and in 1990 the IRS moved in, seizing his bank accounts and real estate holdings to claim $16 million in back taxes. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France) |
