I make a living recording singers and songs. I spend many hours listening to and polishing lyrics, vocal delivery, pitch and timing. This is a sound I come back to when the day is done. A human being delivering an incredible song with no re-dos or overdubs. Blaze forever.

He was a frequent visitor at the Flying Circus in Austin when I worked with WC Clark there. Duck tape lapel, hat band and stripe down his pants legs. Odd bird for sure but really nice and not as "crazy" as he looked. I really had no idea he was such a fine songwriter at the time, sadly.
The first time i heard this song it made me feel the same as when i read the first chapter of Of Mice And Men. "How does someone just sit down somewhere and write something like that...?"
