Hat tip, This Day in Country Music

2010
Willie Nelson was arrested for possession of six ounces of marijuana found in his tour bus while travelling from Los Angeles to Texas. He was released after paying bail of $2,500. Prosecutor Kit Bramblett supported not sentencing Nelson to jail due to the amount of marijuana being small, but suggested instead a $100 fine and told Nelson that he would have him sing "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" for the court.

That's a good tune. It goes back a long way.

I've never found a video of Hank Williams performing this Fred Rose tune.

I've seen this episode of "Monk" a few times. It's a popular episode. I'm glad there's an official version posted.
