Diana Krall, Elvis Costello & Willie Nelson perform “Crazy” live:
Willie Nelson wrote ”Crazy” in early 1961. It was released in late 1961 by Patsy Cline and immediately became huge hit for Cline. Cline’s success with “Crazy” helped launch Willie Nelson as a performer and a songwriter.

“John Lennon: The New York City Years,” opens on Tuesday at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Annex NYC in SoHo. The exhibition ”provides a glimpse of the nine years the artist lived in the city, from 1971 until his death in 1980.”
The show offers a good overview of his creative world, with examples of his art (drawings and collages, some never seen before), video clips of his performances and, most crucially, a collection of lyric sheets and production notes that, if you look closely at Lennon’s changes, additions and annotations, tell a lot about his working methods and his ways of thinking about music.
Check out the slideshow in the NY Times.
