Honky Tonk I heard on a home made audio cassette somebody made at a SoCal county fair and I was pleasantly surprised. This is a really fine version, thanks!

@rocknrolldude1989 I was not speaking of his second try. Rick was on a come back so to speak. He was at the top of his game yrs earlier, I was to understand he didn't really like singing and the attention. The plane he died in was Jerry Lee Lewis old plane. Garden Party was a song he wrote,  The song was based on his experience at Madison Square Garden. it was totally autobiographical. His voice got better as he aged. What a beautiful man.
