PRINTFarm Aid 2006 – Backstage with Willie Nelson and Danielle Evin
Farmers’ Almanac TV is on location, shooting video at the Farm Aid concert in New Jersey. Here is the sixth post from the event.
We just returned from our interview with Willie Nelson. He graciously hosted us on his tour bus where he talked about the past 21 years with Farm Aid. He also told us about how he got involved with bio-diesel.
We gave him a Farmers’ Almanac TV hat and when our audio operator, Greg Ward, asked him where he could get a Bio-Willie hat, Willie took it off his head and signed it for Greg.
We then ran into Danielle Evin backstage who told us what it was like to be a part of Farm Aid.
Next we were lucky enough to get b-roll from backstage. It is amazing how organized this event is. Each band’s equipment is placed on a rolling wagon back stage so that when one band is finished, the next can be put in place in less than 5 minutes.
More to come

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
