"I've got this song that begs to be a book and a book that begs to read like a song--a long， romping ballad of sweetness and scandal bridging seven decades of friendship 。 。 。"


Immortalized in Willie Nelson's road song "Me and Paul，" Paul English was the towering figure who for 70 years acted as Willie's drummer， bodyguard， accountant， partner in crime， and right-hand man。


Together， the two men roamed the country， putting on shows， getting into a few scrapes， raising money for good causes， and bringing the joy of their music to fans worldwide。 Stories of Willie and Paul's misadventures became legendary， but many have gone untold--until now。


Set against the backdrop of the exploding Americana music scene and told in Willie's inimitable， colorful style， Me and Paul follows the two performers through their decades-long careers。
