Traces of Texas reader Allan Hubbard played the roll of 10-year-old "Sonny" in the 1983 movie Tender Mercies, for which Robert Duvall won an Oscar for best actor. Allan was kind enough to send me this photo of himself, Duvall and Willie Nelson. Allan said he got to play

John Spong Willie Nelson I really enjoyed Bonnie speaking on sobriety as well. It was very interesting when I learned a few years back that Stevie Ray helped her on that path along with many others when he became sober. Fantastic history with Bonnie and Willie!
