The Odd Couple

August 14th, 2009

Back in October of ‘97, Farm Aid came to the Chicago suburbs, and of course, The Daily Illini was there to cover the event.   Willie Nelson helped create the benefit in 1985 to help raise awareness (and some cash) for the plight of the American farmer, and he’s been doing the concerts every year since.  It was a fantastic day of music with a star-studded lineup, and certainly one of the highlights was when Willie joined Beck on a cover of the Jimmie Rodgers classic “Peach Pickin’ Time Down in Georgia.”
