Willie comes back to Texas for July 4 United Press International AUSTIN — Country music su perstar Willie Nelson said Wednes day he’s staging his annual Fourth of July picnic-concert in Austin this year because “everybody wanted it to come hack to Texas.” The day-long outdoor musical ex travaganza has not been held in Texas since 1980, when it was staged at Nelson’s lakeside country club stu dio in Austin. “I hated to leave Texas those years, but it got to be problem find ing sites,” said Nelson. “It was six months work for me to promote it another six months to take care of lawsuits.” Nelson said he hoped the picnic will become an annual event in the Texas capital now that a permanent home has apparently been found at an 1 l-acre outdoor concert site that is being refurbished by a Houston promoter. “I hope there’s one next year and I hope it’s in Austin,” he said. “Ev erybody wanted to come back to Texas, the people, the pickers, ev erybody.” Last year. Nelson’s Fourth of July concerts were split between Atlanta, East Rutherford, N.J. and Syracuse, N.Y. The picnic began in 1972 with a concert in Dripping Springs, which is just outside Austin. With the ex ception of a 1977 picnic in Tulsa, Okla., the concerts were held at dif ferent sites in Texas until last year. Among the performers Nelson handpicked to join him this year are Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristoffer- son, Jessi Colter, Leon Russell, Da vid Allan Coe, Moe Bandy, Johnny Rodriguez, Carl Perkins, Jerry Jeff Walker, Billy Joe Shaver, Gary Bu- sey, Johnny Bush, Faron Young, Floyd Tillman, Steve Fromholz and the Geezenslaw Brothers. Promoters said only 30,000 tickets — at $ 16.75 each — will be sold since that is the capacity of the concert site. Nelson, wearing his familar pig tails, jeans and t-shirt, appeared at a news conference to explain why the picnic was returning to Texas after a four-year absence. “The reason we came back to Aus tin was because a lot of peopk wanted us to and because there wail facility available,” he said. The 1980 concert at his proptni produced complaints from to neighbors because of the crush of 60,000 fans and bumper-to-bumpti traffic. “I think anytime you have ai event that offends anyone, it’s Ml good for the event,” he said. “Tin places we’ve had picnics in the were not the best in the world be cause there were neighbors. “Those people moved out to iht country to he by themselves." Nete atlded. “They have a right to bei little concerned if they wake up see 50,000 hippies in their f yard."
