Willie Nelson 4th of July Picnic 1996 T-Shirt | Mike Ponczek's Closet
An original Willie Nelson 4th of July Picnic 1996 crew shirt from the personal collection of Showco sound engineer Mike "Dr. Funk" Ponczek.
The 1996 Picnic was held in Luckenbach, Texas — one of the most storied editions of the festival — drawing fans to the iconic grounds during the Years of Luckenbach era (1995–1999). The bill featured a landmark performance by Waylon Jennings singing "Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love)" on the very soil the song immortalized, alongside Leon Russell, Robert Earl Keen, and Asleep at the Wheel.
This is a genuine crew shirt from the event, pulled straight from Mike's personal archive — verified provenance, one of a kind.
