San Antonio is one of my favorite locations to shoot;
fortunately, it's also one of Willie Nelson's favorite haunts.
The barrio, the cantinas and especially the senoritas excite his imagination.
A shoot with Willie, especially if Waylon's involved, begins as a gentle
segue from one cantina to another. Along the way bartenders, bystanders, and the unwary are
swept up in the flow. By the end of the evening a whooping exuberant version of the Rolling
Thunder Revue is performing half in the street, half in the cantina, and half on its backs.
