Willie Nelson Episode Yet to Air (May 28, 1997)

Michael Prochnow reported a NASH sighting in the North Beach area with Don, Cheech and Willie Nelson:

The Nash Bridges Crew was filming all day Sunday April 13 on Broadway in North Beach. Don Johnson, Cheech, and Willie Nelson were in the car. They were driving down Broadway from before Columbus, all the way down to the waterfront. Willie Nelson was a biker in handcuffs. They stopped in front of the old "The Stone" on Broadway and went inside. There were motorcycles and bikers everywhere.

With the season wrapped up, we assume that the Willie Nelson episode is being saved for next season. Watch for it in the fall.
