AUSTIN, Texas — Willie Nelson is not a stranger to SXSW. 

Nelson made an appearance at this year's virtual event. He talked about his long career, artistic endeavors, and presumably, more things that his fans will delight in hearing. 

Since we cover all things Texas on Spectrum, we knew we had to try and secure an interview with the country music icon.

In the video above, you'll see our chat with Mr. Nelson, or at least a good lookalike, and the behind the scenes steps we took to get the interview.
