Hand pain halts Willie Nelson's NC show

KENANSVILLE, N.C. (AP) - January 29, 2010

Alcohol Law Enforcement spokesman Ernie Seneca said Friday that six members of Nelson's band and crew have been charged with misdemeanor possession offenses. They were cited before the Texas singer was to take the stage Thursday night at the Duplin County Events Center.

Nelson's daughter said on the musician's Web site that the show was called off because his hand hurt too badly to play. The right-handed guitar-picker had carpel tunnel surgery on his left hand in 2004.
