An area of Texas expertise: I have attended 20 Willie Nelson Fourth of July Picnics since 1995 and covered 10 of those for a Texas newspaper. I have studied the history of the Picnic and written about it extensively.

 

I don't aim to compete with the old-timers. Anyone who attended one of the large Picnics in the 1970s knows more about that crucial first era than I could ever learn through research and collecting — even if, or perhaps because they can't remember it. But if you want to know about the history of the Picnic as a whole and how different eras compare with each other, I'm your guy.
