VERY RARE COSMIC COWBOY ERA MEMROBILIA! This is a wedding invitation for Willie Nelson's longtime drummer Paul English (yes, as in Willie's song "Me And Paul") from 1973 at Dripping Springs, TX, (where Willie held his earliest 4th of July Picnics). This invitation was hand-drawn by famous Armadillo poster artist Michael Priest. Featured attendees: Organist Bobbie Nelson, Soloist Willie Nelson, Best Man Waylon Jennings, Matron Of Honor Sammi Smith, Bridesmaids Rita Coolidge, Groomsmen Kris Kristofferson, Tom T. Hall, Doug Sahm, Walter Burnette, Ushers Mickey Raphael, Bee Spears, and Jimmy Day. This was a virtual Who's Who of the Cosmic Cowboy scene, and all the cast members are in the illustration! Not many collector's have this one! Dimensions: 8,5 X 11 inches, black ink offset printing on paper.
