@fubar50cat (you too, loveMyFreakinLife) I echo your sentiments. Watching vid for Willie Nelson/Merle Haggard version of "Pancho and Lefty" led me to Townes Van Zandt. TVZ videos introduced me to Blaze Foley. Don't remember for sure how I stumbled upon Eva Cassidy, but it was here on YouTube. I live in America, the nation that birthed the Internet as a DARPA project, and I thank it. But these dead artists resonate more meaningfully in my life than do dead presidents.
My guess is that there are a lot of folks like me, who never heard of Blaze,but found him while snooping around on here!, Blown away!, Thanks for sharing!

Never knew who he was until I started poking around to see who Lucinda Williams was singing about in "Drunken Angel". Blaze was a major talent.
