The Texas quote of the day comes from Tunin Tom Hawkins, the who is responsible for making sure Willie Nelsons famous guitar, Trigger, is ready for Willie to play. Toms been working for Willie for 35 years: Trigger is with me always. Its got an extra hole. Its been beat like Noahs Ark in the desert. Its gone ----- no its not, Its beautiful. Just like Willie. Willie keeps it together. We dont ask questions. Things work. Its not allowed to go out of tune. Ive got to be able to read the weather, factor in whether the gig is indoors or outdoors. Bobbies Steinway B (Willies sister Bobbie plays a Steinway in his band) is the same. Its his guitar, thats her piano. Its her Trigger. ---- Tunin Tom Hawkins, quoted in Willie Nelson by Joe Nick Patoski
