Clete Shields and Willie Nelson

Today is the grand unveiling of the Willie Nelson bronze sculpture in Austin, Texas.  The sculpture is amazing. . . I know because my brother, Clete Shields, is the sculptor!  Yahoo to my little brother!!!  This guy has always had talent.  By the time he was three he was fixing my art work and making it look a heck of a lot better.  The amazing thing is that he always knew what he was going to do and has never waivered.  I, on the other hand, must have been hiding when the talent was handed out but at least I am a carrier.  My eldest son has "the talent" as well so we will see what he does with it!  Here is a really well done YouTube that chronicles the making of the Willie Nelson statue and has some great footage of Clete.
