Hey! That's the guy from Home Improvement on drums!!! Mickey Jones!

[CragarShinoda]

@vozpit Yup, he also played drums in '66 for Dylan.

written by mel tillis this is based on a true story.

[AlbertaSun]

He is unable to get his gun and put her in the ground.  He cried in desperation for her not to leave him all alone, hence "For God sakes, turn around". It is an incredibly sad song.

RUBY TURN AROUND!!!

[IndyJDguy]

He looks so different with brown hair and a beard.

Kenny still has that suit, you know.

Wow, where is this from? Not as good of a recording from the live version from 1972 but this looks like a pre-production recording.

[SixtiesPopGold1]

@drewp4vp It's from Mike Douglas Show.

I always wonder why Kenny gave up playing bass. He's actually pretty damn good!

[FabFM]

@jeffkahl Kenny is a good bass player, he's really good at double bass as well. He plays still on the odd gig, but he prefers singing over playing.
