Today's Morning Edition music is from Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson from their 1978 hit album "Waylon and Willie."

Willie Nelson will be performing tonight at the Grand Casino Mille Lacs. And if you are a really big fan you might want to bid on a pair Willie's braids that will be going up for auction this fall.

They are part of a collection of memorabilia that belonged to Waylon Jennings who died in 2002. The braids were given to Jennings at a 1983 sobriety party hosted by Johnny Cash.
